Billy Joel
My songs are like my kids.
Billy Joel
When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.
Billy Joel
Hot funk, cold punk, even if it's old junk, it's still rock and roll to me.
Billy Joel
Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue.

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
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'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk and modern man accumulates.
