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.

I like songs that sound like classics. There are songs that might be cooler or have better production, but I like songs that sound like they're timeless.

My parents tried to shield me from how famous they were when I was growing up on Long Island. I had no idea.

It's always been a dream of mine to do a voice for a Disney movie. I think Disney movies and theater are very closely related. That would be amazing. I don't know about doing a Broadway musical, just because I don't really know how people do it. You just work all the time. That's something that I would definitely have to work up 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.

Growing up, I didn't know my parents were famous. I just thought they knew everybody. Everyone was always saying, 'Hi, Billy,' 'Hi, Christie.' I thought they were just popular.
