I have always liked black and white! It is simple and the colour of the piano.

Whenever I do a performance I always hope it is the best day of my life. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.

A child isn’t born bitter. I point no fingers as to who tainted the clean, pure pool of my childhood. Let’s just say that when I realized that I didn’t want to grow up, the damage was already done. Knowing that being grown up was no swell place to be means that you are grown up enough to notice. And you can’t go back from there. You have to forge another route, draw your own map.

For me I always need to have two sides to me when I play! I need to be a performer and at the same time the producer. So I need to be somewhere up in the air and producing my music. I can't just be the performer; otherwise I can't see the whole view. I need the big view!

I have to be very original and have a strong musical voice. I don't want to be a copycat of anybody.

Music came first and I started to jam with people I couldn't communicate in their language. Then, because I could make friends thanks to music, they started to talk to me. Then I started to learn English.

Music taught me how to always be patient and focused, and to train the little concentration in myself.
