I love to play music.

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

I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung.

I don't really take a step back too often to see what's going on.

But I've never considered myself any kind of heartthrob. It sounds painful.

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

So when you start touring, women are definitely going to check you out first.

I guess I'm happy that I'm getting the attention. Otherwise, I'd just be playing in a local bar in front of my family members, and I'm sure they'd get sick of that in no time.

Women are the first to jump on what is fashionable.

I took a lot of time to open myself up to taking chances musically.

I may never get my own action figure, but at least I think what I'm doing is really legitimate musically.

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

I'm like a junkie for writing.

I could tell it was a popular move as a writer to walk down the bass lines while you were writing a song.

I can do a gig without an instrument.

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

We have a George Foreman grill on the bus.

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

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

I live in a bus and go from place to place and sometimes feel very detached from what's going on.

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

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.

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

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.

I happen to be a guy who also plays the piano and sings, so people automatically associate me with Billy Joel.

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

I love to play music.

I don't take my clothes off in my videos.

I was introduced to country music around a campfire on a farm.

I like to do the splits onstage.

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

So yeah, I play the piano for most of the show, but I like rock and roll.

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

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

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

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.
