More quotes by Billy Joel
Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
Billy Joel
Streetlife serenader never sang on stages, needs no orchestration, melody comes easy, need no vast arrangement to do their harmonizing.
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.
Billy Joel
It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.
Billy Joel
Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody
Billy Joel
The biggest regret? This may be one of those years I have no regrets.
Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
Billy Joel
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
Billy Joel
Lawrence of Arabia, British Beatlemania.
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
In every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and strong, to heal the wounds from lovers past, until a new one comes along... So I would choose to be with you. That's if the choice were mine to make. But you can make decisions too. And you can have this heart to break. And so it goes, and so it goes. And you're the only one who knows.
Billy Joel
I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto cause we won't although we'll want to.
Billy Joel
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Billy Joel
I was thinking of the Four Seasons, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and when I was thinking Uptown Girl! I was trying to sing like Frankie Valli. They had a song called Ragdoll, which was about a poor girl and a rich guy. So I just flipped it around and made it about a rich girl and a poor guy.
Billy Joel
Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on / They never die, that's how you and I will be
Billy Joel
Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
Billy Joel
I keep telling people: Don't make me the poster boy for AA because I don't know a lot about sobriety, but I do know a lot about drinking.
Billy Joel
The piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, man, what are you doing here?
Billy Joel
