You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own.
Billy Joel
Image
I always thought of myself as the piano player in the band. That, I suppose, I'm confident about, and I guess my songwriting developed as I went along and I got a certain amount of confidence in that. The songs are like my kids, I'm proud of all of them for one reason or another.

When I first started I didn't know a lot about the job, so I kinda had to figure it out by wire, ya know? It was hit and miss, I made mistakes, and fortunately I was able to recover from most of 'em. But I promised myself if I ever get to a point where I can help somebody that's trying to learn how to do this, that I would try to do that.

Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
Billy Joel
Image
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
Image
I hope it does not take the rest of my life until I find what it is I've been looking for.

Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue.
Billy Joel
Image
People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.
Billy Joel
Image
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.
Billy Joel
Image
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

Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
Billy Joel

I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
Billy Joel
Image
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
Image
You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.
Billy Joel
Image
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

If you're a very unfulfilled person you might have a tendency to turn to crime.
Billy Joel

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

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.

I won't be righteous again. I'm not sure anymore.
