Plus, there were so many pianos in my house, so I couldn't really avoid it.

Without the piano, my life would be a disaster - nobody would hold me in any regard. It's the thing that saved me.

When I was first starting out, you'd have to bang an old upright piano and stick a mike in it and it would always feed back and you could never turn it up loud enough to be heard and I would beat my hands black and blue and bloody.

I decided that playing piano was a little bit too common, you know what I mean?

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played.

I set our house on fire when I was a little child playing with lighters. Boy, did I burn the place down!

Once I picked up an electric guitar, I lost interest in piano, and I just wanted to rock. I studied piano for so long, I got burned out on it.

I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.

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

But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
