I always say golf's a really good exposer of a player's personality.
We try to recruit good players and good people.
People don't realize that I'm really funny and I'm an excellent bridge player.
I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.
I prefer old-world wines like Lafite Rothschild and Margaux.
In a way, I started out to be a baritone player.
I want players who are always striving to improve.
Look, I'm not trying to be critical when I'm on the air.
For me, 'choking' is just another term in golf.
I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'
I'm the most successful bad player ever.
When there's a moon the shadows in the house grow larger; invisible hands draw back the curtains, a pallid finger writes forgotten words on dust of the piano...
It was even said that some birds spring to life in the tension of accidental chords being struck in the ether, a confluence of arbitrary sound waves from unrelated sources: a piano, a truck, a breaking bottle---a bird.
I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland. And when we moved to America, it was just the typical thing except I was really good at it; so was my brother.
My little brother and I took piano lessons at a young age and played music together later on in life just to play around at home until we decided to make a record. Eventually we started having more and more songs.

I was always interested in the arts as a child - drawing, painting, and piano - but acting became a favourite. I was a major theatre geek in high school - if I wasn't in the drama room at lunch rehearsing, I'd be in the art room finishing up some typ...
Making lyrics feel natural, sit on music in such a way that you don't feel the effort of the author, so that they shine and bubble and rise and fall, is very, very hard to do. Whereas you can sit at the piano and just play and feel you're making art.
A piano might fall on your head, he said, but it also might not. And in the meantime you never know. Something nice might happen.
Beauty doesn't have to be anything. What's a vase about? What's a sunset or a flower about? What, for that matter, is Mozart's Twenty-third Piano Concerto ?
