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

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

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 don't mind about the boos from the audience.

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

People find it hard to understand how I can risk ruining my career as a musician by injuring myself on the slopes, but I've always been a tomboy.

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.
