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

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.

Music will always be my greatest passion.

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.

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

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

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