More quotes by Billy Joel

But it's better than drinking alone.

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.

Hypodermics on the shores, China's under martial law
Rock and Roller cola wars, I can't take it anymore
