Yes, I guess I am bi-coastal.

In your teens, you think you know everything, and you know nothing. By your thirties, you're sure you know nothing, but you're happy with that.

I'm not a huge fan of my work.

I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn't like about this community.

It's kind of fun to be sexy.

Eric's performance is an awesome and entirely honest expression of the pain and beauty of his music. To watch him play is like riding on the tail of a dragon, but he is so gentle with his rider, you forget how high up you are or how intense the ride is. He is perhaps the most generous performer I have ever watched, every bit of himself is given to the audience. He's like a Marina Abramovic with a piano, completely and deeply committed, regardless of that pain.

I was one of the most brilliant liars as a child.
