But I don't think I've grown up to be a damaged adult.

Music will always be my greatest passion.

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

But I still think it's mind over matter in the sense that if you're strong, you can combat anything.

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.

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

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.
