More quotes by Billy Joel
I don't know why I go to extremes.
Billy Joel
I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.
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
This is our moment, here at the cross-roads of time. Time is relentless and as the past dissappears, we're on the verge of all things new.
Billy Joel
Do what you love, and you'll always love what you do
Billy Joel
I keep telling people: Don't make me the poster boy for AA because I don't know a lot about sobriety, but I do know a lot about drinking.
Billy Joel
Black and white is how it should be, but shades of grey are the colors I see.
Billy Joel
Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?
Billy Joel
If it seems like I've been lost in 'lets remember', If it seems I'm gettin' older and missin' my younger days, well you shoulda known me much better, cause the past is something that never got in my way.
Billy Joel
You can pay Uncle Sam with all your overtime, is that all you get for your money?
Billy Joel
There's always a place for the angry young man with his fist in the air and his head in the sand. He's never been able to learn from mistakes, he can't understand why his heart always breaks.
Billy Joel
I always thought of myself as the piano player in the band. That, I suppose, I'm confident about, and I guess my songwriting developed as I went along and I got a certain amount of confidence in that. The songs are like my kids, I'm proud of all of them for one reason or another.
Billy Joel
I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.
Billy Joel
You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
Billy Joel
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know you can't always see when you're right.
Billy Joel
Musicians know all about unemployment. You're unemployed a lot, and I think there's a great deal of empathy between musicians and people who are out of work.
Billy Joel
I'm single but interviewing.
Billy Joel
Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, Listen to me. Now it says, Look at me.
Billy Joel
I look in the mirror and think, 'I don't look like a rock star.' I talked about this with Bono and we looked at each other and decided we look like a pair of bricklayers.
Billy Joel
