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

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.

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

Violin playing is a physical art with great traditions behind it.

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.

The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.
