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

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

In the last century, everybody was singing lower.

I was married at 16, a father at 17 and divorced at 18.

The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands.

When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight.

I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities.
