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.
Billy Joel
If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.
Billy Joel
