People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.

I started taking piano lessons when I was about four years old. My parents were both musicians. So I took piano lessons. I didn't like the lessons very much, but I was enchanted by music. Music always transported me somewhere. Singing made feel good and being able to play the piano made me feel good.
Billy Joel
