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

Billy Joel
I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.
Billy Joel
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.
Billy Joel
If I traveled all my life And I never get to stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
Billy Joel
I'm in a New York state of mind
Billy Joel
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes.
Billy Joel
Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
Billy Joel
Why don't the Beatles get back together? Why don't nobody sing of romance?
