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
Image
And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
Billy Joel
Image
They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.
Billy Joel
Image
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.
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

I believe that all important matters have to be settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.
Billy Joel

It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
Billy Joel

Let me go on sleeping and I will lose myself in palaces of sand, and all the fantasies that I've been keeping will make the empty hours easier to stand.
Billy Joel

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea, there ain't no island left for islanders like me.
Billy Joel
Image
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.

Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.
Billy Joel
Image
I've always said about 50% of what happens at a concert has to do with the audience. If you play for a dead audience you're gonna stink. If we play for a great crowd we're much better. You want 'em to make noise. It's kinda like sex, if they don't make noise, you ain't doin' it right.
Billy Joel
Image
I guess some people in classical music can keep going until they kick (die) and the (Rolling) Stones are definitely pushing the envelope but I wonder if here's a time when you have to face whether you are as good as you used to be.
Billy Joel
Image
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.'

My daughter sent me on a mission to get as many autographs as possible.
Billy Joel
Image
I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk and modern man accumulates.
Billy Joel
Image
I won't be righteous again. I'm not sure anymore.

Black and white is how it should be, but shades of grey are the colors I see.
Billy Joel
Image
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.
