For one thing, when you're playing as well as I was at the time, you think you can play with anything. That isn't true, of course, but I didn't know it then.
If I had spent a quarter of the time that I spent manipulating my sexuality in front of a piano instead, I would be the most gifted piano player of my lifetime.
You need to take care of your time and practice, you need to rest and talk to media. So it's really important to organize those things.

Griffin Mill: Let's go to Acapulco. June: Is that the thing to do? Griffin Mill: It's *a* thing to do.
Andy Civelli: Griffin, you move in mysterious ways, but I like it! I like it!
