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
Image
This is our moment, here at the cross-roads of time. Time is relentless and as the past dissappears, we're on the verge of all things new.
Billy Joel
Image
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
Image
I'm in a New York state of mind
Billy Joel
Image
You should never argue with a crazy mind, you ought to know my now.

We might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one
Billy Joel

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

Out of respect for the things that I was never destined to do, I have learned that my strengths are a result of my weaknesses, my success is due to my failures, and my style is directly related to my limitations.

Like a boxer in a title fight, you have to walk in that ring alone.
Billy Joel
Image
I was drawn to boxing because I got beat up as a kid. I was the kid with the piano books in a New York neighbourhood.

I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.
Billy Joel
Image
Your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Billy Joel
Image
I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk and modern man accumulates.
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 look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.
Billy Joel
Image
I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.
Billy Joel
Image
The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfactions.
Billy Joel
Image
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.

you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for

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.
