More quotes by Billy Joel

They're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone.

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens.

Don't take any shit from anybody!

And in truth, of course, I'm not just 60 - I'm twelve, I'm 23, I'm 37, I'm 42, I'm 18. I'm every age I've ever been. Depending on what day of the week it is and what the situation calls for at the moment.

Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you.
