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

Dont make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though its crucial to make a living, that shouldnt be your inspiration. Do it for yourself. – Billy Joel
As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us. – Billy Joel
