If you're a very unfulfilled person you might have a tendency to turn to crime.
Billy Joel

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood. It's alright, it's alright Sometimes that's what it takes. You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.

You can walk away from your mistakes You can turn your back on what you do Just a little smile is all it takes And you can have your cake and eat it too. Loneliness will get to you somehow But ev'rybody loves you now.

When I first started I didn't know a lot about the job, so I kinda had to figure it out by wire, ya know? It was hit and miss, I made mistakes, and fortunately I was able to recover from most of 'em.

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.

I was thinking of the Four Seasons, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and when I was thinking Uptown Girl! I was trying to sing like Frankie Valli. They had a song called Ragdoll, which was about a poor girl and a rich guy. So I just flipped it around and made it about a rich girl and a poor guy.

I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
