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

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.

When I'm not on tour, I love to have a long breakfast at home in my garden.

Mozart composed his music not for the elite, but for everybody.

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

I have two speeds, nothing and full pelt.
