I went to national piano competitions and did that whole circuit. Then I played professionally to support myself when I moved out to LA.

Pianos tend to get better as they age, the more you play them. They grow into their sound.

I'd never been to a prom, I had never had the whole high school experience. I think I was kind of an anomaly. I don't think they knew where to put me.

You'll say I'm self-destructive I constructed all this tragedy. Go tell them all it's all my fault You'll tell them I was crazy . And anyway it's over now Nothing left to say.

All of those art-based fields are similar in that they're all hard to make a living in and they all require an intense amount of training and discipline.

It occurred to me the other day that I've made out with more people on camera than I have in real life!

I don't feel special. I was just full of energy and loved to learn.
