More quotes by Billy Joel
I actually wrote the song first as well, it's 9 o'clock on a Saturday. That bit. Then I said, You know what? It needs some kind of an introduction to kind of set the mood and set the flavor. So I just played this kind of cocktail lounge thing, the hustle and bustle of waitresses going by - that kind of thing.
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
You've got to be hard, like the rock in that old rock & roll.
Billy Joel
They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.
Billy Joel
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
If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
Billy Joel
Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
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
Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.
Billy Joel
Artist - musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
Billy Joel
Remember how I found you there alone in your electric chair, I told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
Billy Joel
I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
Billy Joel
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
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 may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
Billy Joel
Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.
Billy Joel
Following a code of silence, you're never gonna lose the anger.
Billy Joel
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Billy Joel
