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

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

Music will always be my greatest passion.

I've decided to make my main priority for the next two years not playing the violin, but training for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

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.

You can insure yourself up to your eyeballs, but if you don't take risks, what's the point? You have to enjoy life.

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.
