Image
I believe that all important matters have to be settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.
Billy Joel
Image
If I traveled all my life And I never get to stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.

I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.

I guess some people in classical music can keep going until they kick (die) and the (Rolling) Stones are definitely pushing the envelope but I wonder if here's a time when you have to face whether you are as good as you used to be.
Billy Joel
Image
I won't be righteous again. I'm not sure anymore.
Billy Joel

The biggest regret? This may be one of those years I have no regrets.

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. But I promised myself if I ever get to a point where I can help somebody that's trying to learn how to do this, that I would try to do that.

She can kill with a smile. She can wound with her eyes. She can ruin your faith with her casual lies. And she only reveals what she wants you to see. She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.
Billy Joel
Image
I hope it does not take the rest of my life until I find what it is I've been looking for.

Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody

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.

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.

I've crashed my car three times.

Though you can see when you're wrong, you know you can't always see when you're right.

Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.

Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.

Working too hard can give you a heart-attack.
