My dream is to be played everywhere, not only at the Opera.

When I was young, people used to say to me: Wait until you're fifty, you'll see. I am fifty. I haven't seen anything.

The musician is perhaps the most modest of animals, but he is also the proudest.

I came into the world very young, in an age that was very old.

I liked the bit about quarter to eleven.

I have never written a note I didn't mean.

I am tired of always dying with a broken heart.
