I think music in itself is healing. Its an explosive expression of humanity. Its something we are all touched by. No matter what culture were from, everyone loves music. – 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
In an age of incompetence, Ive been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. Thats my job. – Billy Joel
Ive never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didnt work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine. – Beth Ditto
