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

I am travelling half the year around the world, every year, so coming home is one of the most beautiful things.

It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.

Now, I've changed my life to make sure I work only on what I love.

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

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

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