My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake.

The piano is an orchestra with 88...... things, you know

Played percussively, the piano is a bore. If I go to a concert and someone plays like that I have two choices: go home or go to sleep. The goal is to make the piano sing, sing, sing.

I have no style, because I change each time . . . each day I play differently. Today I play differently than yesterday.

My face is my passport.

Perfection itself is imperfection.
