Billy Joel
Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.
Billy Joel
I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.
Billy Joel
She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes.
Billy Joel
There was only really one accident that was kinda bad but it was nothing to do with booze, just bad luck... I was having a hard time a couple of years ago... I'm a good driver, I just had bad luck.
Billy Joel
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
Billy Joel
Every child had a pretty good shot, to get at least as far as their old man got. But something happened on the way to that place. They threw an American flag in our face.
Billy Joel
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.

Billy Joel
Davey Crocket, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland.
Billy Joel
And so my child and I came to this place to meet him eye to eye and face to face. He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced. We never knew what friends we had, until we came to Leningrad.
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
Billy Joel
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Billy Joel
I never said I wasn't going to play any more. I don't know where that came from.
Billy Joel
In every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and strong, to heal the wounds from lovers past, until a new one comes along... So I would choose to be with you. That's if the choice were mine to make. But you can make decisions too. And you can have this heart to break. And so it goes, and so it goes. And you're the only one who knows.
Billy Joel
I never stopped writing music, I just stopped writing songs. I've been writing music continually ever since the last album of original tunes, River Of Dreams in '93.
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
The piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, man, what are you doing here?
Billy Joel
