There's one point where I play the piano upside down. When I first did that, I hit my head and it really hurt. But people were laughing, so we've kept it in ever since. I probably have severe brain damage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every day a piano doesn't fall on my head is good luck.
Playing upside down is insane. It's two or three times more difficult than what's normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down - all of your body is fighting gravity.
I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with a piano.
I play piano very badly. That's my great regret.
I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
I just sit down at the piano and rattle it off.
When I am back home, I have an upright piano and I play constantly.
I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.
With the piano I'm completely in control of the gestural situation-not that I'm going to play the piece myself, but I know what's difficult, what's impossible.
