More quotes by Billy Joel
I believe that all important matters have to be settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.
Billy Joel
I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.
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
Musicians know all about unemployment. You're unemployed a lot, and I think there's a great deal of empathy between musicians and people who are out of work.
Billy Joel
Let me go on sleeping and I will lose myself in palaces of sand, and all the fantasies that I've been keeping will make the empty hours easier to stand.
Billy Joel
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Billy Joel
She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes.
Billy Joel
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.
Billy Joel
The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.
Billy Joel
When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.
Billy Joel
Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.
Billy Joel
Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
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.
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.
Billy Joel
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I've found that just surviving is a noble fight. I once believed in causes too I had my pointless points of view. And life went on no matter who as wrong or right.
Billy Joel
I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
Billy Joel
They are sharing a drink called loneliness.

You can speak your mind But not on my time.
