Lawrence of Arabia, British Beatlemania.
Billy Joel
In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.
Billy Joel
My songs are like my kids.

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
Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?
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
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.
Billy Joel
What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?
