Contrary to popular opinion, classical music does not have to be enjoyed amid exclusive circles, there need not be any snobbishness attached to it. It's there for everyone. I play for the people.

I believe that music in itself heals and that everything is about the power of the mind. I thought if you are happy, you don't get ill. Your health is in your head. When you are satisfied with your work, you don't get ill.

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.

Critics or musicians who attack me are jealous of my success and the fact that I make people feel so happy.

I make music to touch the souls of people as it's a language we all can speak.

I was the black sheep of the family, and my mother never really understood me.
