The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.

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.

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

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

We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.

The waltz is a very important part of my life. It's a very important way for me to express my positiveness, bringing humor to the world.
