What people don't understand is that my dad isn't up on the contemporary music scene. He's been a legend for decades and he doesn't know what's going on right now, and he doesn't need to.
I worked a long time to get good at what I'm doing, and nobody handed me a recording contract because of who my father is.
There's no great shame in having your nose fixed.
Because of Billy Joel, I've been playing piano since I was knee high. The house was always full of music, so of course he's influenced me, but I think I've also developed my own sound. He's also been really good about giving me advice, which I think has helped me really stay true to what I want to do musically.
My parents tried to shield me from how famous they were when I was growing up on Long Island. I had no idea.
