More quotes by Billy Joel
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
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
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Billy Joel
I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.
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
You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
Billy Joel
Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody
Billy Joel
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
Billy Joel
I started just concentrating on songwriting when I was abut 20 I'd been in rock bands six or seven years, kinda got that out of my system, I said, ok, you ain't gonna be a rock star, you don't look like a rock star, it probably ain't gonna happen. So what you should do is write songs and maybe other people will do your songs.
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
Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
Billy Joel
The biggest regret? This may be one of those years I have no regrets.
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
I guess some people in classical music can keep going until they kick (die) and the (Rolling) Stones are definitely pushing the envelope but I wonder if here's a time when you have to face whether you are as good as you used to be.
Billy Joel
Know what you love and do what you love. If you don't do what you love, you're just wasting your time.
Billy Joel
Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
Billy Joel
The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.
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
Remember how I found you there alone in your electric chair, I told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
Billy Joel
You can speak your mind But not on my time.
Billy Joel
