piano students mediocre
I had studied piano since I was 13, but I was surrounded by students who'd been playing since they were 5. I realized I was never going to be anything but mediocre.
trying done satisfied
I've never felt completely satisfied with what I've done. I tend to see things too critically. I'm trying to get over that.
mean sweating
Just because you're not sweating doesn't mean you're not putting in the work.
piano rooms drag
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
dog feelings
Dogs do have feelings, I gather.
dog simple animal
We're all animals, but we're a different sort of animal. Maybe they're better than us. They're more loyal. They're more pure. They're more simple. They're not neurotic. Well, there are some neurotic dogs.
real animal pushovers
I'm a real pushover for animals.
inspirational hindsight foresight
Hindsight. It's like foresight without a future.
stars stupid thinking
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films. I vowed I would never do a commercial, nor would I do a soap opera - - both of which I did as soon as I left the [Acting] Company and was starving.
song writing men
I see God as a song-and-dance man. If I had my way, he'd be able to carry a tune, too. Preferably, one of mine.
