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.

When I hit my 20s, I took a chill pill and relaxed because throughout my teens I was churning out an album a year. It was a treadmill of work then recording, promoting and touring.

All the time I'm changing as an artist and as a person.

To even get to the Olympics, I have to qualify for the 2013 World Championships and the standard is high. I know I am always going to be a few points behind the top guys.

I've decided to make my main priority for the next two years not playing the violin, but training for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

For example, I loved English and history at school. I would have loved to have done a degree in either. But my Mom said I didn't have time for university.
