A Quote by Tim Minchin

I was a late bloomer, but I realised that people really liked it when I played blues scales and, with the piano, I had that insatiable need to prove myself.

I'm a late bloomer. Being a late bloomer is a problem when you decide at 40 you want to have children.

Daphne Zuniga

The first thing I learned was the 'St Louis Blues' when I was eight. Both my grandmothers, my mother and uncle played the piano. This was post-war Britain, and they played boogie woogie and blues, which was the underground music of the time.

Jools Holland

I played piano. I've always liked piano. My father played piano. Actually, to be fair, the sound of the harpsichord did annoy him a bit, and I thought, how can I annoy Dad? I'll play the harpsichord.

Mahan Esfahani

There's this weird game called 'Blueberry Garden.' For that game an artist recorded some piano music, but evidently he only had a really terrible microphone on top of the piano, and I really liked it and wanted to experiment with that. So, I made piano recording and really mangled it, and kept experimenting with the technique.

Everybody in my neighborhood in the '40s, they played pianos. That's how people partied. They didn't try the TV, the radio was OK, records was cool, but when people wanted to party, they got around a piano. My mother played piano, my sister played. I've been around a lot of piano all my life.

Dr. John

When I was a kid I really liked the guitarist of The Doors [Robby Krieger]. He plays blues, but he plays a lot of melodic things. He plays scales that are kind of unusual, and some bent notes.

Stephen Malkmus

I'm musical in the sense that I can write a song, but I realised when I was learning the piano as a child that there were people who played it so much better.

Leslie Bricusse

Being a late bloomer, I really didn't have any interest in children until my late 30s, but I'm so happy I didn't go through life without that experience.

Stacy Keach

Really, I was such a late bloomer, I really didn't learn how to be me until I was in my late '40s, which is when I started playing roles that were closer to me.

Ron Perlman

I've never really not played the piano. I've played it since I was six or seven and it's something I've always done - I don't think I could ever really play anything else, I would be a bit out of it without a piano.

Tom Odell

I've played piano since I was probably six or seven, but I stopped when I was about 13, and I couldn't be bothered to do the exams or learn my scales.

Eliza Scanlen

I feel like I always describe myself as a late bloomer. My first album, in my mind, was that I had a few songs I needed to take from incomplete demos to working with someone else and finishing them.

Albert Hammond, Jr.

The first time I played in front of a live audience, I realised I wanted to be a musician. I was about four years old and had always liked music.

Lewis Capaldi

I took piano lessons as a kid, and my daughter's played piano since before she started kindergarten, so classical piano is something I really love.

Kristan Higgins

As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It's less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.

Eddie Marsan
