Since I was three I've been playing the piano. I've been onstage.

I have a cultured manner of speaking.
Once I understood Bach's music, I wanted to be a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music, and it was that teacher who introduced me to his world.
Greed has driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here that I can call home.
