The worst thing in life is boredom. When people don't know what to do with themselves, they are very, very poor.

I know about the bad, but I look at the good thing.

Only when we are so old, only, are we aware of the beauty of life.

Life is beautiful. You have to be thankful that we are living. Wherever you look is beauty. I know about the bad things, but I look for the good things.

Music saved my life and music saves me still...

I am Jewish, but Beethoven is my religion.

Music was our way of remembering our inner selves, our values.
