In my youth, I wanted to be a great pantomimist -- but I found I had nothing to say.

And now, in honour of the 150th anniversary of Beethoven's death, I would like to play 'Clear the Saloon', er, 'Clair de Lune', by Debussy. I don't play Beethoven so well, but I play Debussy very badly, and Beethoven would have liked that.

Did you know that Mozart had no arms and no legs? I've seen statues of him on people's pianos.

Read (this book), smile, enjoy, and if you happen to learn something along the way, don't get upset.

I do not have a single white note on my piano; my elephant smoked too much.

The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer.

I wish to thank my parents for making it all possible? and I wish to thank my children for making it necessary.
