“In Nashville, I was running eight miles a day, hanging out with my friends, walking around eating chocolate-chip cookies and playing a lot of drums, which I enjoyed. Life was easy. I was never frustrated – even though I wasn’t fulfilling my contract obligations. If you are failing in Nashville, at least your standard of living is nice. Nashville is a nice way to fail.”

Ben Folds researched a lot on the piano technique. He said:

“I spent maybe six months just running scales with a metronome like a freak.I suppose that did something.”
