And the word spread of Billy the Kid.

If you want to know what life is like in the Soviet Union, go to your local department of motor vehicles

There was a time in my life when I was drinking too much, and so I have stopped. It’s an interesting concept. ‘Just don’t drink.’ Hmm! I never thought of that!

I would not leave you in your times of trouble. We never could have come this far. I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times, I’ll take you just the way you are.

They’re sharing a drink called loneliness, but at least its better than drinking alone.

I’d start a revolution but I don’t have timeI don’t know why I’m still a nice guy.

I don’t know why I even care, we get so high and get nowhere.

I thinking of people like Phil Ramone or George Martin,

If I’m gonna be losing it, I might as well be doing it right

I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.

They say that these are not the best of timesBut they’re the only times I’ve ever knownAnd I believe there is a time for meditationIn cathedrals of our own.

I’ve only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I’m very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn’t pan out. I’m like most other human beings....

Now, we lives our lives…So nonchalant…We spend our time…So ‘Bon Vivant’…Our stylish nights…So well-arranged…Those tasteful words that we exchange…We know it’s all a passing phase.

I don’t care what consequence it brings, I have been a fool for lesser things.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going

Well, he robbed his way from Utah to OklahomaAnd the law just could not seem to track him downAnd it served his legend wellFor the folks, they’d love to tell’Bout when Billy the Kid came...

Water has an endless horizon; there is no limitation when you look out into the water. There’s nothing to interfere with the mind’s eye projecting itself as far as it can possibly imagine. I suppose...

I have a theory that is the only original things we ever do are mistakes. The only thing that we can really attribute to ourselves that is purely original are our screw-ups.

But I don’t want some pretty face To tell me pretty lies All I want is someone to believe.

I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection.

I promised I would never leave youAnd you should always knowWherever you may goNo matter where you areI never will be far away

People who are looking for art in rock ‘n’ roll or pop are looking for something that either doesn’t or shouldn’t exist.

Last of the Big Time Spenders.

We might be laughing a bit too loud But that never hurt no one.

There are certain artists who have taken it upon themselves to save the world, and I find that gets tiresome. I think the artist’s first obligation is to the art, not to the issues ....

Slow down, you crazy child.You’re so ambitious for a juvenile.

You can’t dress trashy ’til you spend a lot of money.

We would all go down… together…

What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you.

…And you’re the only one who knows.

I am, as I’ve said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

When you look into my eyesAnd you see the crazy gypsy in my soulIt always comes as a surpriseWhen I feel my withered roots begin to growWell I never had a place that I could...

I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are mistakes.

Slow down you’re doing fine You can’t be everything you want to be Before your time.

They showed you a statue and told you to prayThey built you a temple and locked you awayBut they never told you the price that you payFor things that you might have done.

They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait. Some say it’s better, but I say it ain’t. I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Sinners are much more fun…

No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.

If we’re going to keep ourselves interested, we can’t play for the reviewer and we can’t just play for the audience. In the end, you have to just play for yourself.

You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes, but they’re the only things that you can truly call your own.

Hope you don’t think this is Billy Joel unplugged. I’m a piano player. I’m already unplugged.

It’s okay if you mess up. You should give yourself a break.

I don’t think what has happened to me is that different from what happens to most people. The only difference is the scale. People seem to think my problems are larger than life, but they’re...

You’ve got your passion. You’ve got your pride.But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true.

If I need a cause for celebration Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind I rely on my imagination And I dream of an imaginary time.

So before we end and then beginWe’ll drink a toast to how it’s beenA few more hours to be completeA few more nights on satin sheetsA few more times that I can sayI’ve loved these...

She will promise you moreThan the Garden of EdenThen she’ll carelessly cut youAnd laugh while you’re bleeding.

Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems

I’ve loved these days.

In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along.

Shades of grey wherever I goThe more I find out the less that I knowBlack and white is how it should beBut shades of grey are the colors I see.
