It took me two years to walk around a chair with ease; it took me another two years to learn how to laugh onstage - and I had to learn everything.

My first album was completed in three months.

I played trumpet for about two weeks. Sixth grade. And I didn't practice. Maybe a little longer than two weeks, but I didn't practice and I was faking it.

I don't know how many years I can still play. I have to listen to my body and see how it feels.

I played piano for about two years when I was a kid. I didn't play long enough to be really great.

I've been playing my instrument since I was about three or four. That's when I started banging around on the piano, trying to be like The Beatles.

I played the organ when I went to military school, when I was 10. They had a huge organ, the second-largest pipe organ in New York State. I loved all the buttons and the gadgets. I've always been a gadget man.

My first was in 1994 and it's ten years ago already. It's been ten years and I'm still around. I won a stage again, like I did last year and the year before.

I have been tied up with music for about as long as I can remember. By the time I was four I was picking out little tunes my mother played on the reed organ in the living-room.
