My Dad Didn't Want Me To Play

I Don't Want To Be Anything Other Than Me.

I'm Very Competitive, And My Ego Couldn't Handle That Lack Of Success

The Early Billy Joel Stuff I Fell In Love With, Like Glass Houses, Is A Real Rock Record.

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.

Things Take A Little More Time When You're Not Doing Really Obvious Sales. I Don't Have Any Nudity In My Videos, Or Anything Close To It, And I Don't Have Shootouts Or Explosions Or Car Chases ... There Aren't A Bunch Of Drugs In The Videos And I Am Not Wearing Hot Pants, And I Don't Dance. So, As Far As Videos Or Anything Visually Is Concerned, I'm Not A Very Visually Stimulating Artist.
