“I don’t like being on camera. I’m camera-shy,” he said. “I always feel like a geek when I’m on TV because I’m static at the piano, I can’t move around. I can’t use body language. I’m stuck at the piano.“It just doesn’t feel rock ’n’ roll when you’re on camera,” said Joel of performing on TV. “You’re just locked into place.”“And it just doesn’t feel rock ’n’ roll when you’re on camera. You’re just locked into place.
