You know, my family is very musical, I was surrounded by it. And from four years old I was the one that asked my mother could I take piano lessons.

I started taking piano lessons when I was about 5, and there was always a lot of music in my family: my parents both play instruments, my grandparents were classical violinists, and my grandfather was actually a music professor and a conductor.

I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing.

I don't come from a musical family at all, but I realized early on I was a musician. I started begging for a piano when I was 6 years old.

I played piano as a kid; I still play a little bit.

Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.

I grew up with the piano. I learned its language as I learned to speak.

And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.
