The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.

I start songs all the time. If I weren't so lazy, I would finish them. It's like when I have a deadline I have to. I always feel very lucky that I am forced to make records at certain times. If I was forced to make 2 records a year, I would write twice as many songs. I can't make myself finish something unless I am forced

I do think that when you make repeated mistakes, it's usually because you're just not coming to grips with something.

Even though I live in America more, I feel like when I go to Adelaide, that's when I get to go home.

I'm older than I was, and I'm still washed-up, and I haven't changed my music one iota. It's just much easier to do this when people are being nice to you.

The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.

Billy Joel and Joe Jackson were both great, and they both play piano.
