Billy Joel
  • Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music.

  • I'm a history nut.

  • You want to give people a reason to hate my guts more? I'm making more money.

  • When I was 19, I made my first good week's 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.

  • Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.
