I listen to Billy Joel. He is fabulous. I saw him with Elton John when they toured together, it was so great.

My big influences are piano artists like Billy Joel and Elton John.

I've met Nicole Kidman, Elton John, loads of people.

Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.

Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.

When it comes to the stage, I can't help but be inspired by people like George Clinton, Elton John and Alice Cooper.
