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

I don't think I could have ever had a career as a pianist because I never ever wanted to play the notes the way they were written, I was too sloppy to learn them quite right.

A lot of producers don't have any musical education. I couldn't make the music I make without playing the piano.

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

I studied piano for seven years and play for my own enjoyment.

I hear a lot of bad TV commercials that try to sound like Where It's At. That pretty much turned me off from using the electric piano for a lot of years.

I remember thinking that I'd never show my arms on TV, but over time you loosen up.

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

I play piano very badly. That's my great regret.
