Billy Joel

Billy Joel
People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.
Billy Joel
It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.
Billy Joel
When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.
Billy Joel
When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.
