You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood. It's alright, it's alright Sometimes that's what it takes. You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.

More quotes by Billy Joel
I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.
Billy Joel
I'm in a New York state of mind
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies, all I want is someone to believe.
Billy Joel
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
Billy Joel
If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
Billy Joel
Following a code of silence, you're never gonna lose the anger.
Billy Joel
I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.
Billy Joel
Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
Billy Joel
Your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Billy Joel
What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?
Billy Joel
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.
Billy Joel
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.'
Billy Joel
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.
Billy Joel
Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.
Billy Joel
Here I am starting a franchise and I'm gonna be 65 years old. I should've started this in 1978... I wrote like 300 songs and I'm gonna have to re-learn some of them!
Billy Joel
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.
Billy Joel
The biggest regret? This may be one of those years I have no regrets.
Billy Joel
I don't know why I go to extremes.
Billy Joel
You can speak your mind But not on my time.
Billy Joel
