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

To be nice to people and make them happy - that's my philosophy in life.

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

Work hard! Just keep working hard until you can do something you want to do! We all progress at different speeds and in different ways, so be patient and keep working hard!

My biggest musical dream is to keep playing all my life. There's nothing bigger than that and that's very challenging because you have to satisfy yourself at every stage.

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

Travelling is very difficult, you have to go to places with different climates and time zones. Travelling like that every single day through the year is definitely not healthy, but that's something I have to sacrifice if I want to play music.
