I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.

The piano is kind of my second instrument.

That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.

To me, the piano in itself is an orchestra.

So in one sense you don't have the classic keyboard player in Yes.

I don't play any instruments, but I do read a lot.

The only instrument I know how to really play, and the instrument that I absolutely love, is the piano. I have been playing piano ever since I have been 9.

For me, the keyboard is always an additional sound to the piano. Piano is the main instrument; I can't go anywhere without acoustic piano. It's been my best friend since I was 6 years old.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

I still think that I'm playing instruments, not just pushing buttons and there it goes. It's interactive and alive with the sound and the manipulation and it plays like instruments.
