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.

I'm like a junkie for writing.

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

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

I love to play music.

So yeah, I play the piano for most of the show, but I like rock and roll

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
