The classical music world is so snobbish.
I was the black sheep of the family, and my mother never really understood me.
For me, I always like to get up bright and early.
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.
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.
