Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, Listen to me. Now it says, Look at me.
Billy Joel
Image
Remember how I found you there alone in your electric chair, I told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
Billy Joel

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.

I've reached the age where competence is a turn-on.

Image
I started taking piano lessons when I was about four years old. My parents were both musicians. So I took piano lessons. I didn't like the lessons very much, but I was enchanted by music. Music always transported me somewhere. Singing made feel good and being able to play the piano made me feel good.

I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.

Call you up in the middle of the night. It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.
Billy Joel

If I traveled all my life And I never get to stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.

I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.

I've always said about 50% of what happens at a concert has to do with the audience. If you play for a dead audience you're gonna stink. If we play for a great crowd we're much better. You want 'em to make noise. It's kinda like sex, if they don't make noise, you ain't doin' it right.

She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes.

Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.

She's got a way about her, And everywhere she goes, a million dreams of love surround her, everywhere.

Do what you love, and you'll always love what you do

People pay a lot of money to go see shows now, they don't wanna know about your technical problems, or if you're not feeling good, they don't wanna know we have a glitch. It's their night, you better do something to earn that money.

I never stopped writing music, I just stopped writing songs. I've been writing music continually ever since the last album of original tunes, River Of Dreams in '93.

Out of respect for the things that I was never destined to do, I have learned that my strengths are a result of my weaknesses, my success is due to my failures, and my style is directly related to my limitations.

Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real

If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
