There's always blood on the carpet when I play Beethoven at the piano. I hate playing the piano! And it's so hard to fight for Beethoven's soul! But that's what I have to do!

I play piano very badly. That's my great regret.

I play piano every day. I enjoy that.

I'm not really a pianist.

I'm a Beethoven freak. I listen to him all the time.

You don't go out and play Beethoven's 'Opus 111' without having rethought about it every time you play.

I still will sit down at the piano and play when I am wrestling with something emotionally or just want to move into the musical world.
