When a child is gifted, people try to help that child.

You can't be different if you look at it. Being gifted is different. I had that in my piano playing. I'm very thankful for that. I'm very aware of that. The style and what I fed is just me. I never worked at it. It just happened.

Anything human can be felt through music, which means that there is no limit to the creating that can be done with music. You can take the same phrase from any song and cut it up so many different ways - it's infinite. It's like God... you know?

I'm just human, I have faults like anyone

I demand perfection in what I do, and I practice very hard before I give a concert-sometimes three to six hours a day.

Talent is a burden not a joy. I am not of this planet. I do not come from you. I am not like you.

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