And so my child and I came to this place to meet him eye to eye and face to face. He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced. We never knew what friends we had, until we came to Leningrad.

More quotes by Billy Joel
It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.
Billy Joel
You should never argue with a crazy mind, you ought to know my now.
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
You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.
Billy Joel
Give a moment or two to the angry young man with his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
Billy Joel
There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl He's always at home with his back to the wall And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
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
Davey Crocket, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland.
Billy Joel
Some people stay away from the door for the chance of it opening up.
Billy Joel
The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.
Billy Joel
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea, there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
Billy Joel
As long as there are memories, yesterday remains. As long as there is hope, tomorrow awaits. As long as there is friendship, today is beautiful.
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
This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto cause we won't although we'll want to.
Billy Joel
In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.
Billy Joel
I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
Billy Joel
She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes.
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
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
Black and white is how it should be, but shades of grey are the colors I see.
