We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.
I first picked up a violin aged five - I just assumed everyone played.
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.
The classical music world is so snobbish.
I admire Johann Strauss a lot. I believe he was a genius of his time.
I am a showman in the traditional sense, but modern, too. I like to use sets and lighting to create magic.
