Without the piano, my life would be a disaster - nobody would hold me in any regard. It's the thing that saved me.

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

It's funny: I'm a lifelong musician, but because I principally play the piano it's been a solitary thing.

I'm a kid for a living: I get to play the piano for a living.

I play piano every day. I enjoy that.

If you take the creation of music and the creation of your own life values as your overall goal, then living becomes a musical process.

If I stopped writing and being at my piano, I wouldn't know how to live. It's your best friend.

Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.

Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.
