I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.
I've also gotten to play in front of a million people in Central Park when there was a grass roots movement calling for nuclear disarmament - it was about 1982 - they called it Peace Sunday.
Music itself is a great source of relaxation. Parts of it anyway. Working in the studio, that's not relaxing, but playing an instrument that I don't know how to play is unbelievably relaxing, because I don't have any pressure on me.

He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace.
I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated.

As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.
I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.
I was invited to a couple of races, but I was doing a play in New York.
