Historically, musicians know what it is like to be outside the norm – walking the high wire without a safety net. Our experience is not so different from those who march to the beat of different drummers. – Billy Joel
You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? Im making more money. – Billy Joel
Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself. – Billy Joel
When I was 19, I made my first good weeks 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
For some reason I cant explain, artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what youre doing and keep your imagination open. Thats a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age. – Joshua Bell
