Every performance is different, but I try to approach them in the same way and give it my all.

I try not to look back too much, but sometimes it's nice to reflect.

You have to listen to what someone is doing and help them get to where they want to go, musically speaking. I play a supporting role if someone else is soloing, and a guitarist will do the same for me while I am soloing.

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

My mother gave me a choice. She said, 'Would you like to take singing lessons or piano.' I'm glad I chose piano.
