More quotes by Billy Joel
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
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
There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl He's always at home with his back to the wall And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
Billy Joel
I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.
Billy Joel
Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
Billy Joel
Hot funk, cold punk, even if it's old junk, it's still rock and roll to me.
Billy Joel
You've got yoga, I've got beer. You got overpriced, I got weird.
Billy Joel
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.
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 don't want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone I can talk to, I want you just the way you are.
Billy Joel
Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
Billy Joel
She can kill with a smile. She can wound with her eyes. She can ruin your faith with her casual lies. And she only reveals what she wants you to see. She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.
Billy Joel
Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
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
Black and white is how it should be, but shades of grey are the colors I see.
Billy Joel
Move to California - my first impression of the Wild West.
Billy Joel
If it seems like I've been lost in 'lets remember', If it seems I'm gettin' older and missin' my younger days, well you shoulda known me much better, cause the past is something that never got in my way.
Billy Joel
They are sharing a drink called loneliness.
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've crashed my car three times.
Billy Joel
