I did (training in) tennis, ballet, swing dancing, piano, art class and etiquette. I also did French dialect, but then it was mixing me up with my Southern dialect, so we stuck to Southern!

I have a theory as to why I`ve been around so long. I don`t think I`m all that good, I think I`m competent, I know how to do what I`m supposed to do. I know how to play the piano, I know how to sing in key, I know how to write music & lyrics, I know how t...
Billy Joel
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned The Pink Panther (1963) theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now, my music has to have some rock.
Jack Black
We used to hang out at Joss`s place Sunday nights and do Shakespeare readings. I got to do my Richard III recently. Then we`d have a few tequilas, sit around the piano and sing. I talked to Joss years ago about doing a Buffy musical, and then finally in t...

About working with David Lynch in "Twin Peaks" (1990) and Wild at Heart (1990) - I`ve been wrapped in plastic on a beach, I`ve imitated a bird [Waldo], I`ve come back as my lookalike cousin, and for Wild at Heart (1990) I hung 60 feet above the ground by ...
Sheryl Lee
I was the product of very young parents, and they had wild ways. My mother was in a punk band. Rebelling would have been learning to play piano.
Holly Marie Combs
When learning to play the piano, one studies various types of pieces. When one acquires the basic knowledge of these pieces, one has reached sonatine. It`s not really control, but it marks the end of first stage of training.
Takeshi Kitano
Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons. (June 1989)
Madonna Ciccone
I love telling stories, and I love hearing a good story being told. Songwriting is fascinating in that it incorporates two things that I love to do: create a story and write the music to it. Then I get to sing it and play the piano on top of that. My job ...
Billy Joel
When I was five, I got forced into taking piano lessons. And it came really naturally to me. Knowing that I was good at something played an important role in my confidence. I was always shy, uncomfortable around people. I slipped by. But with the music, I...
Trent Reznor
I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I`ve always really enjoyed music. I haven`t played much the last four years because I`ve been traveling around, so when I g...

Jesse Spencer
I`ve never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I`ve always played with other musicians. It`s how I play, there`s no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, ...
Ringo Starr
Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.
Caroline Corr
When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher sent me something that I`d composed when I was four. I remember I played it, and it still sounded like me. I`m the same composer I was then.
Alex Tagliani
The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.
