Quote

This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto cause we won't although we'll want to.

Working too hard can give you a heart-attack.
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.

Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, Listen to me. Now it says, Look at me.
Billy Joel

Every child had a pretty good shot, to get at least as far as their old man got. But something happened on the way to that place. They threw an American flag in our face.

I look in the mirror and think, 'I don't look like a rock star.' I talked about this with Bono and we looked at each other and decided we look like a pair of bricklayers.

Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.
Billy Joel
Image
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.

I don't know why I go to extremes.
Billy Joel
Image
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

You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.

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.

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.

Why don't the Beatles get back together? Why don't nobody sing of romance?
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.

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.
