I'm Like A Junkie For

The Early Billy Joel Stuff I Fell In Love With, Like Glass Houses, Is A Real Rock Record.

Things Take A Little More Time When You're Not Doing Really Obvious Sales. I Don't Have Any Nudity In My Videos, Or Anything Close To It, And I Don't Have Shootouts Or Explosions Or Car Chases ... There Aren't A Bunch Of Drugs In The Videos And I Am Not Wearing Hot Pants, And I Don't Dance. So, As Far As Videos Or Anything Visually Is Concerned, I'm Not A Very Visually Stimulating Artist.

I'm No Heartthrob. Honestly, I Am Really Happy That People Are Just Giving Me A Chance And Paying Attention To What It Is I Have To Say, Because I Certainly Hope I Have A Lot More To Say Than I Do To Look At. That's More Important To Me.

When My Grandfather Died, I Started Adopting Some Of His Accents, To Sort Of Remind Myself Of Him. A Homage. He Was A War Hero, And He Was Really Great With His Hands.

But I've Never Considered Myself Any Kind Of Heartthrob. It Sounds Painful.
