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

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

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.

Critics or musicians who attack me are jealous of my success and the fact that I make people feel so happy.

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

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.

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