Rock n' roll was a kid when I was a kid.

I always loved rock 'n' roll.

We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.

I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.

I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old Tin Pan Alley songs and American standards. My dad listened to a lot of traditional Irish music and I grew up doing musical theater. So most of the music I was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n' roll.

I was born at the beginning of rock and roll. I got to experience the entire evolution of popular rock and roll music even before it started.

I grew up listening to everything. And rock and roll has always been a big, big part of it - as big a part of what I do as any other type of music.

I grew up mostly with classical, big band, and a lot of Irish music - I really didn't start listening to rock and roll until I was maybe sixteen.

I always had a fascination with music.

Music was very influential on me as a kid.
