It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.
I have two speeds, nothing and full pelt.
I am travelling half the year around the world, every year, so coming home is one of the most beautiful things.
I first picked up a violin aged five - I just assumed everyone played.
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 admire Johann Strauss a lot. I believe he was a genius of his time.
