There's always a place for the angry young man with his fist in the air and his head in the sand. He's never been able to learn from mistakes, he can't understand why his heart always breaks.
Billy Joel
Call you up in the middle of the night. It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.

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

My daughter sent me on a mission to get as many autographs as possible.
Billy Joel
Out of respect for the things that I was never destined to do, I have learned that my strengths are a result of my weaknesses, my success is due to my failures, and my style is directly related to my limitations.
Billy Joel
The piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, man, what are you doing here?
Billy Joel
Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue.
Billy Joel
You'll learn more from your accidents than anything that you could ever learn at school.
Billy Joel
You're not the only one who's made mistakes, but they're the only things that you can truly call your own.
Billy Joel
