As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.

One thing that you hope for when you want to be a musician is that you have that recognizable sound.

I don't have a great instrument. I don't have the kind of ungodly control over my voice and body that great actors have. And I've worked with enough great actors to know that I'm not one.

To be a good musician, you need to give people what they want, what they need.

I play the real instruments. I don't waste my time with anything else.

I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.

The only instrument I can play is piano. Whenever I make songs at home, I play the piano and make them on the piano.

What I try to impart to a musician is to really try to practice the instrument in a really sincere way. Learn as much about music as you possibly can. Learn composition. Study to try to create compositions of your own and put your own personal touch on your music.

There's more to being a musician than just making music.

I can't play any instrument for the life of me, but I know what I want to hear.
