Find a good teacher, as I found for my sons. I feel the worst thing you can do is to try and teach your own children yourself, because there is a natural rebellion that occurs.

Ive broken my nose, Ive broken ribs. You name it. In fact, we just got back from South America, and I fell over a monitor speaker on the stage and almost ended up in the front row of the audience. I managed to sprain my wrist on that one but luckily nothing was broken.

I consider everything I compose a gift.

I don't care who I play to, as long as they enjoy listening to what I play.

I'm proud of my kids, they are doing what they want to do.

You've got to keep things flying.

Next year I'm going to be a guesting soloist with orchestras all over Europe, to start off with.
