More quotes by Billy Joel
There's always a place for the angry young man with his fist in the air and his head in the sand. He's never been able to learn from mistakes, he can't understand why his heart always breaks.
Billy Joel
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea, there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
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
The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.
Billy Joel
Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody
Billy Joel
In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.
Billy Joel
My songs are like my kids.
Billy Joel
Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.
Billy Joel
There was only really one accident that was kinda bad but it was nothing to do with booze, just bad luck... I was having a hard time a couple of years ago... I'm a good driver, I just had bad luck.
Billy Joel
I've crashed my car three times.
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
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
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
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
Billy Joel
I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
Billy Joel
I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.
Billy Joel
If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
Billy Joel
The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfactions.
Billy Joel
You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.
Billy Joel
Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.
Billy Joel
