Piano Quotes

If you ask me about vocal technique, I don’t know anything. I could never be a teacher. I just know what my teacher told me: ‘Always sing with a full voice. When they tell you, less sound, more piano - no.’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have loads of friends - three or four who are close. The thing that I love the most is playing with my band, and with everything else I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don’t think I’m socially awkward. I just prefer being behind a piano Picture Quote #1

My mum was very good at making me take up musical instruments, so although there was no popular music she made me learn the recorder when I was three, the violin when I was five and the piano when I was seven. I took up the guitar myself when I was 14 Picture Quote #1

I enjoy the song writing process more than anything. It’s what I like the most, just sitting in my room with guitar or at the piano or something. Just making something up, something that’s not there, that suddenly is there Picture Quote #1

I was not a band geek, per say. But me and my two older sisters played instruments, so I would come home and my sister Dana would be playing the clarinet or playing the piano, and I would play the saxophone, my other sister would be singing, my mom would be singing. I was not afraid to be musical. That was not something that I thought was uncool Picture Quote #1

I met this wonderful guy who owned an old pub near the Eiffel Tower called Malone’s (he’s French but it’s an Irish name). He had a cellar with a piano and told me I could use it whenever I wanted to. I played lots of gigs down there. When I came back I played a show at the Knitting Factory Picture Quote #1

My mother was the influence on me - my father was absent. He was a diamond dealer; he was doing wonderful things in the background, and women were left at home. So my mother really was in charge of everything: the ballet, dance lessons, piano lessons, and latkes Picture Quote #1

I tend to write on an acoustic guitar or the piano. I have kind of a rule: if I can’t sit down and play this and get the song over, I don’t take it to the band, because most any good song, you can sit down and deliver it with a piano or a guitar Picture Quote #1

I’ve had to be a man since I was 12 or 13. I had a job. And I was playing the piano for people twice my age. Handling responsibility is what makes a man a man Picture Quote #1

I sit around for ages waiting for inspiration. Then when I get an idea, I want to go with it and get something as quickly as possible. It’s like catching a fly in a bottle. I’ll play with drums for a bit, then the piano for a bit, play the guitar Picture Quote #1

It’s true, most of my days are spent alone in a dark room! I don’t really want anyone to see me trying and failing to nail the 40th take of a simple piano cue Picture Quote #1

Mostly, in song writing, my experience is that there isn’t so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes. But the urge to write is something you have to have. A conviction, an ambition to write and never stop until you think, ‘This is the best I can do.’ Picture Quote #1

One of the most memorable live performances of my career took place on the 2002 American Music Awards show when I had to the opportunity to sing with Elton John. I was moved by the way he played the piano onstage Picture Quote #1

Solving problems is a practical art, like swimming, or skiing, or playing the piano: you can learn it only by imitation and practice Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I wanted to be a writer or painter. I was always writing stories, and I excelled at drawing. My teachers encouraged my art work. When I was 9 or 10, I began learning piano and started writing music Picture Quote #1

My entire life, I’ve always known that I wanted to be a performer, but I didn’t know exactly how, where or when. I never learned or studied the craft, formally. I grew up doing martial arts and playing piano. But, something inside of me always said that I was going to do this, as far back as I can remember Picture Quote #1

As a young composer I had a particular fondness for Liszt’s Beethoven Symphony arrangements for the piano, and to this day I enjoy playing non-piano music at the piano Picture Quote #1

I’m not very good at playing piano, so I usually hit chords with my right hand. And those chords came, and I was just singing a little bit Picture Quote #1

Century-old records are the closest thing we have to a time machine. To listen to the voice of Theodore Roosevelt or the piano playing of Claude Debussy is to feel the years falling away like autumn leaves from a maple tree Picture Quote #1

I played piano back in my elementary school days and I sang a cappella back in college Picture Quote #1

When I was playing piano, it was like, ‘I’m going to write a song using all the white keys.’ My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good Picture Quote #1

I think my first experience of art, or the joy in making art, was playing the horn at some high-school dance or bar mitzvah or wedding, looking at a roomful of people moving their bodies around in time to what I was doing. There was a piano player, a bass player, a drummer, and my breath making the melody Picture Quote #1

I loved Queen, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, and people like Barbara Streisand. The thing with me is that classical music was also an inspiration. I took piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels for 10 years Picture Quote #1
