I guess I'm happy that I'm getting the attention. Otherwise, I'd just be playing in a local bar in front of my family members, and I'm sure they'd get sick of that in no time

I love it. It's the most legitimate way to acquire and sustain an audience of people who are interested in your music. Touring allows me to play material that isn't on the album and that they wouldn't be able to hear otherwise.

The early Billy Joel stuff I fell in love with, like Glass Houses, is a real rock record.

You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.

Women are the first to jump on what is fashionable.

But I've never considered myself any kind of heartthrob. It sounds painful.

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately. All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind. I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do or who I'm supposed to be. I don't want to be anything other than me.
