More quotes by Billy Joel
When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.
Billy Joel
Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself That you forfeit what you need Though you can see when you're wrong
Billy Joel
Advice is cheap you can take it from me.
Billy Joel

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
Some people stay away from the door for the chance of it opening up.
Billy Joel
Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.
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.
Billy Joel
Working too hard can give you a heart-attack.
Billy Joel
I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence. The culmination of technology and civilized experience.
Billy Joel
I'm single but interviewing.
Billy Joel
Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.
Billy Joel
All she wanted was sax.
Billy Joel
I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.
