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.

We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.

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.

The waltz is a very important part of my life. It's a very important way for me to express my positiveness, bringing humor to the world.

I first picked up a violin aged five - I just assumed everyone played.
