Quote

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.

Forced to recognize our inhumanity, our reason coexists with our insanity. And though we choose between reality and madness, it's either sadness or euphoria.
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

I hope it does not take the rest of my life until I find what it is I've been looking for.

I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
Billy Joel
Image
Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on / They never die, that's how you and I will be
Billy Joel
Image
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'

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.

I don't want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone I can talk to, I want you just the way you are.

you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
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.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old.

I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.

I believe that all important matters have to be settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.

Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
