I saw the film 'Amadeus' from when I was five, which made me want to take piano lessons.

I was a strange, loud little kid who could sit at the piano and kill a Beethoven piece.

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

I decided I wanted to be a musician when I saw the movie 'Amadeus' around 1987. I was five years old, so it was a good time to start piano lessons after seeing Tom Hulce who played Mozart play the harpsichord on his back with his hands crossed. Such a great movie to inspire a five-year-old.

At the end of the day, who I really and truly am is a little girl who loved to play the piano.

My aunt played the piano and I used to sit and listen to it.

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 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.

If you're small and can speak clearly and you're a cute kid, that's the craft, really. The whole child actor thing can be dangerous sometimes. Other kids were taking piano lessons; I did ballet and acting.
