we're making friends.
how d'you make friends?
how d'you make friends with...
you don't know! you have to kind of go,
"what's you're name?" "what's my name.."
"do you believe in reincarnation?" "no, i don't know" hmm..all that stuff!
there's magic down here.
to me pianos are a real thing..
real beings.
and uh, this one and i aren't really
communicating that well.
i mean, we don't have an incredible vibe.
it's ok! it's like you're not going to date
every guy you meet. that doesn't mean you can't like have a cup
of coffee with them or something.
we understand that, you know, it's not a marriage.

these are, um, these are my friends.
and i'm their friend.
and i think that most pianists will tell you that.
it's um.. jesus, if i saw somebody destroying a piano,
i'd fucking murder them. wouldn't think twice.
it's defending the life of your best friend.

So, what was the first piano music that you played that you can remember.
[sung] holy holy holy, lord god almighty, early in the morning, our stars shall rise to thee, holy...
ya know, church music!
i played everything in C then.
Oklahoma! [playing]
which musical is that from?
Oklahoma.
how bout Mozart? you played Mozart, too, didnt' you?
oh yeah, all that stuff....
yeah?
yeeeeeees....[begins playing Sonata No.3].
that was great stuff playing.
but everybody was playing it...really well.
but nobody was [plays Tori-like].
you choose which side of the fence you wanna be on.
if your gonna be a performer,
if you're gonna be a classical pianist and play the classics,
then be the best.
and to be top 30 in the world is a very...it's..it's commitment.
it has to come from the deepest place of your being, i think,
to represent those songs in a way that the others..
and i wasn't interested in that.
not that the music isn't...
