I remember coming home from school - I couldn't wait to get to the piano so I could play and practice.

To me living and music are all the same thing. And I keep finding out more about music as I learn more about myself, my environment, about all kinds of different things in life. I play what I live. Therefore, just as I can't predict what kinds of experiences I'm going to have, I can't predict the directions in which my music will go. I just want to write and play my instrument as I feel.

I think it was a natural step to start recording my own music.

I really love the piano and I feel very fortunate that I am able to play and travel all over the world as my career.

I'll just try to keep my mind open to whatever comes my way.

I try to play what comes naturally at the moment and let it happen.

When a man's faith is never tried, I don't think he'll ever learn anything. You have to have trial and tribulation, or what are you going to learn?
