It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.

The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.

For me, I always like to get up bright and early.

I love reading but I never last very long because I fall asleep right away.

Now, I've changed my life to make sure I work only on what I love.

It is a real piece of art if you can make a waltz sound like it is the easiest piece of music to play, because it's really not.

I am travelling half the year around the world, every year, so coming home is one of the most beautiful things.
