In winter I go skiing on Saturdays and Sundays when the slopes are quieter due to changeover day for tourists, and in summer I hike up into the mountains at sunset, just as the village is settling down to dinner.

You can insure yourself up to your eyeballs, but if you don't take risks, what's the point? You have to enjoy life.

I will be the Thai equivalent of Eddie the Eagle.

In an ideal world, I'd spend every weekend at my home in Zermatt in Switzerland.

Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.

Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.

I started skiing around the same time as I began playing the piano, at around four, before moving to the violin at five.
