It seems that a lot of people, who haven't known of me as a pianist, think i've just started off as a comedian. and so for them the piano was something extra. but, of course, playing the piano was something that came before all of what's happened now.

More From Dudley Moore

My sheets had never been so clean as they had in the past few months. i hardly got them on again before something else happened and i was feverishly ripping them off and stuffing them in the wash with double amounts of soap and all the "extra" buttons pushed: extra wash, extra rinse, extra water, extra spin, extra protection against things that go bump in the night.
Past Night Water
Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. and for me, i had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words i heard the smaller i always felt! but the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and i really clung to it.
Giving Up Differences Ordinary
I was much more interested in the orchestra than the piano, but i did become fairly proficient as a pianist and my teachers felt i had talent and wanted me to become a good concert pianist and earn my living that way.

The first job i ever did in the theatre, i was supposed to be a genius piano player. i couldn't play the piano, but you just sit there at a piano like you're playing, and suddenly all this amazing music comes out and the audience believes you can do it. it's the same with computers. i love scenes where there are people yanking at monitors, "yes i'll put you through now," and you know they're just doing that. but you can look brilliant at all this technology. i love it.
Jobs Believe Technology
The universe was a silly place at best...but the least likely explanation for it was the no-explanation of random chance, the conceit that abstract somethings 'just happened' to be atoms that 'just happened' to get together in ways which 'just happened' to look like consistent laws and some configurations 'just happened' to possess self-awareness and that two 'just happened' to be the man from mars and a bald-headed old coot with jubal inside.

I felt like i had lost something. but not something silly, like my keys or my gum; more like my arm or my foot, something that really mattered. like something that i could live without, but would make life much harder if it were missing. and life is hard enough. life is hard enough with everything we're given.

No man can be condemned for owning a dog. as long as he has a dog, he has a friend; and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.

Snobbery is not merely a silly human weakness but something basic in the mentality of modern man-a symptom which reflects the general sickness, the dislocation of social and cultural values in contemporary civilization.
