Without a piano I don't know how to stand, don't know what to do with my hands.

I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.

Songs are kind of alive, I think; once you finish writing them, that doesn't mean that that's it for the song. It can have its own little life, I think.

I'm not a very dark person.

I've learned now to talk, act or walk famous. I can still walk around New York, without being molested or bothered. I don't mind autographs - that's part of it. I just do not see the point of being "out there" or behaving outrageously. It will bring nothing but trouble.
