You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.
Billy Joel
Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.
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
I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.

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
My songs are like my kids.
Billy Joel
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.

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
Know what you love and do what you love. If you don't do what you love, you're just wasting your time.
Billy Joel
If I traveled all my life And I never get to stop and settle down Long as I have you by my side There's a roof above and good walls all around You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
We're on the verge of all things new.
Billy Joel
I keep telling people: Don't make me the poster boy for AA because I don't know a lot about sobriety, but I do know a lot about drinking.
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
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
When I first started I didn't know a lot about the job, so I kinda had to figure it out by wire, ya know? It was hit and miss, I made mistakes, and fortunately I was able to recover from most of 'em. But I promised myself if I ever get to a point where I can help somebody that's trying to learn how to do this, that I would try to do that.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily News.
