You Cannot Play The Piano

Love Life And Life Will Love You Back. Love People And They Will Love You Back.

I Was Born Very, Very Lazy And I Don't Always Practice Very Long. But I Must Say, In My Defense, That It Is Not So Good, In A Musical Way, To Overpractice. When You Do, The Music Seems To Come Out Of Your Pocket. If You Play With A Feeling Of 'oh, I Know This,' You Play Without That Little Drop Of Fresh Blood That Is Necessary – And The Audience Feels It.

Don't Tell Me How Talented You Are. Tell Me How Hard You Work.

I'm A Free Person; I Feel Terribly Free. They Could Put Me In Chains And I Still Would Be Free Because My Thoughts Would Be Mine - And That's All I Want To Have.

At Every Concert I Leave A Lot To The Moment. I Must Have The Unexpected, The Unforeseen. I Want To Risk, To Dare. I Want To Be Surprised By What Comes Out. I Want To Enjoy It More Than The Audience. That Way The Music Can Bloom Anew. It's Like Making Love. The Act Is Always The Same, But Each Time It's Different.
