The public is a part of my real life.

I'm not superstitious because it brings bad luck.

When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do.

The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.

Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step.

When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session.

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers: me personally, I try to sound like a Bösendorfer.
