I know that when I like music, when it touches my heart, that it will touch your heart, too. That, I think, is the secret to my success.

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

I was a fat child and loved cake, perhaps because it was the only sweet thing in my life.

I am a showman in the traditional sense, but modern, too. I like to use sets and lighting to create magic.

I admire Johann Strauss a lot. I believe he was a genius of his time.

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

I have two speeds, nothing and full pelt.
