For the longest time, I wanted to become a pianist. That was kinda my thing.

My mother wanted me to be a concert pianist.

Then, for a hot three or four weeks I wanted to be a concert pianist.

I'm not really a pianist.

I decided during my teens that I wasn't going to have the life of a concert pianist, much to the chagrin of a lot of people who had put a lot of money into me!

I really wanted to just be a musician. I didn't want to be anything else, but I was funny and all that.

I was much more interested in the orchestra than the piano, but I did become fairly proficient as a pianist and my teachers felt I had talent and wanted me to become a good concert pianist and earn my living that way.

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.

I really wanted to be a musician, but it turned out I had no sense of time.

I'd like to be a piano player.
