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.
From Vanessa Mae
I will be the Thai equivalent of Eddie the Eagle.
In an ideal world, I'd spend every weekend at my home in Zermatt in Switzerland.
Violin playing is a physical art with great traditions behind it.
People find it hard to understand how I can risk ruining my career as a musician by injuring myself on the slopes, but I've always been a tomboy.
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.
Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.
The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.
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.
I started skiing around the same time as I began playing the piano, at around four, before moving to the violin at five.
