I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with a piano.

There are confirmed stories of people who can break instruments and cause them to fail by walking in a room. I'm the opposite - I can walk into a room and something will work better than it is supposed to.

I just can't break. If I break, I'm done. So I don't break.

There's no rule I want to break or ever wanted to break - I find the conventional life gratifying - as long as I can sit at my typewriter, alone, for half a day.

I love anyone who breaks the rules, and musicians always break the rules - in an aggressive way.

I've never broken a bone in my body, even though I've done some extreme things.

I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.

The piano is kind of my second instrument.

Yeah, I just don't break. I don't. And there's only one person I know who's a better non-breaker than me, and that's Will Forte from 'SNL.' You can not make that guy break. I'll break eventually - Will Forte will never break.
