The keyboard is my journal.

For my stand-up, I always have my notebook with me and if something strikes me, I'll write it down.

I can take a lot of pats on the back. I love it when I get admiring letters from people. And, of course, I'd love it if the critics would notice me, too.

It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality.

It's so important your customer can rely on you for your classics.

The keyboard is my whole life. My life is centered around either sitting at my keyboard or driving my car. Those are the two most important things, more than anything else. Being at my keyboard, it's the happiest time for me.

People read stuff over your shoulder when you're in public, and when you write the kind of stuff I do, and people read it over your shoulder, it makes you a little self-conscious.

So, I really don't consider myself a fabulous keyboard player.

I know who I am by now. And I am my own brand.

When I write, I tend to read it out loud to myself after. I'm a very uncomfortable reader, so it creates a distance between the text and me - it is a new way to see it.
