The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent. – Billy Joel
If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself, then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings. – Billy Joel
Im probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 – to meet women. – Billy Joel
I often begin movies with music in my head its a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself, but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I dont like to be too sweet in my stories, and I like the abrasive clang, the contrasting of sounds and cultures. – Mira Nair
Islam exhorts men to respect and honor women. The status of the wife is so respected in Islam that it is not obligatory for her to do household chores. She may do them of her own accord. But if her husband forces her to do household work, he will have to account for his conduct in the hereafter. – Anon.
