Billy Joel
And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old.
Billy Joel
When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.

Billy Joel
They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.
Billy Joel
Move to California - my first impression of the Wild West.
Billy Joel
You should never argue with a crazy mind, you ought to know my now.
Billy Joel
Artist - musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
Billy Joel
Working too hard can give you a heart-attack.
Billy Joel
Even though I'm in love, sometimes I get so afraid.
Billy Joel
I've reached the age where competence is a turn-on.
Billy Joel
I did write a letter to the archdiocese who'd banned the song, Only the Good Die Young, asking them to ban my next record.
Billy Joel
I've played all kinds of places, laid all kinds of girls.
Billy Joel
You've got to be hard, like the rock in that old rock & roll.
Billy Joel
