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

Music will always be my greatest passion.

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

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.

I could have taken the easy life and just done classical, but I felt very strongly about the album, my first pop album, the first time that I'd fused so many influences. I was very proud when it was in the charts in 25 countries at once.

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

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.
