I was a fat child and loved cake, perhaps because it was the only sweet thing in my life.
From Andre Rieu
We should make decisions in life with our hearts, not our brains, not only in music but in daily life.
I was the black sheep of the family, and my mother never really understood me.
I am travelling half the year around the world, every year, so coming home is one of the most beautiful things.
Mozart composed his music not for the elite, but for everybody.
It is a real piece of art if you can make a waltz sound like it is the easiest piece of music to play, because it's really not.
Other people might want a Ferrari, but I wanted a butterfly house. I built it together with a blacksmith. We designed it together.
The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.
The classical music world is so snobbish.
I believe that music in itself heals and that everything is about the power of the mind. I thought if you are happy, you don't get ill. Your health is in your head. When you are satisfied with your work, you don't get ill.
