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

You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.

Women are the first to jump on what is fashionable.

When people put that sort of pressure on you, you're worried that people won't want to receive you.

When my grandfather died, I started adopting some of his accents, to sort of remind myself of him. A homage. He was a war hero, and he was really great with his hands.

When I was a kid I got busted for throwing a rock through a car window and egging a house on halloween.

There's always some amount of gradual, slow burning destruction over the course of partying.

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

I don't want to see Superman replaced with Superboy.

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

It's not my goal to be a famous actor.

My dad didn't want me to play guitar. He played piano, so I chose that. And I ended up loving it.

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

So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

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