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

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

Your mind must control, but you must have heart . . . . Give your feeling free.

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

There are three kinds of pianists: Jewish pianists, homosexual pianists, and bad pianists.

Perfection itself is imperfection.

I must tell you I take terrible risks. Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake. Never be afraid to dare.
