More quotes by 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.

I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.

I hope it does not take the rest of my life until I find what it is I've been looking for.
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.'

She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes.

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.

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.

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

Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself That you forfeit what you need Though you can see when you're wrong

There's always a place for the angry young man with his fist in the air and his head in the sand. He's never been able to learn from mistakes, he can't understand why his heart always breaks.

You can speak your mind But not on my time.

Artist - musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.

The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.

Know what you love and do what you love. If you don't do what you love, you're just wasting your time.

I actually wrote the song first as well, it's 9 o'clock on a Saturday. That bit. Then I said, You know what? It needs some kind of an introduction to kind of set the mood and set the flavor. So I just played this kind of cocktail lounge thing, the hustle and bustle of waitresses going by - that kind of thing.

Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
