Music is about the performance.

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

But I don't mind, I'm a bit of a touring animal. When I'm on tour that is the greatest thrill for me, playing to a live audience.

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

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.

I don't mind about the boos from the audience.

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