Billy Joel
I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.
Billy Joel

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
If you search for truthfulness, you might as well be blind.
Billy Joel
Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody

I started taking piano lessons when I was about four years old. My parents were both musicians. So I took piano lessons. I didn't like the lessons very much, but I was enchanted by music. Music always transported me somewhere. Singing made feel good and being able to play the piano made me feel good.
Billy Joel
Ain't no rainbows shining on me, shades of gray are the colors I see.
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
Black and white is how it should be, but shades of grey are the colors I see.
Billy Joel
Critics have said I write without spontaneity, in cold blood. I don't. I write in hot blood.
Billy Joel
Even though I'm in love, sometimes I get so afraid.
Billy Joel
Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real
Billy Joel
I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.
Billy Joel
Do what you love, and you'll always love what you do
Billy Joel
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I've found that just surviving is a noble fight. I once believed in causes too I had my pointless points of view. And life went on no matter who as wrong or right.
Billy Joel
