More quotes by Billy Joel
You may never understand How the stranger is inspired For he is not always evil, And he is not always wrong.
Billy Joel
Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue.
Billy Joel
I've always said about 50% of what happens at a concert has to do with the audience. If you play for a dead audience you're gonna stink. If we play for a great crowd we're much better. You want 'em to make noise. It's kinda like sex, if they don't make noise, you ain't doin' it right.
Billy Joel
Your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Billy Joel
I don't know why I go to extremes.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
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
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
I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.
Billy Joel
I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.
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.
