I'm very competitive, and my ego couldn't handle that lack of success

I miss that sensation of a small achievement feeling like a really big deal.

Playing in front of people is a lot different from playing in your room

I took a lot of time to open myself up to taking chances musically

I don't want to be anything other than me.

So if I was dating somebody now and the relationship didn't work out, I'd take that as failing

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