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.

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

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

I'm an un-healable positive optimist.

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

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