I don't mind about the boos from the audience.

Violin playing is a physical art with great traditions behind it.

Music will always be my greatest passion.

Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.

I started skiing around the same time as I began playing the piano, at around four, before moving to the violin at five.

I will be the Thai equivalent of Eddie the Eagle.

You can insure yourself up to your eyeballs, but if you don't take risks, what's the point? You have to enjoy life.

I've decided to make my main priority for the next two years not playing the violin, but training for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.

Many studies have discovered a close link between prejudice and "patriotism" . . . Extreme bigots are almost always super-patriots.

There is no blindness more insidious, more fatal that this race for profit.

Who partakes in another's joys is a more humane character than he who partakes in his griefs.

The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.

Children and fools always speak the truth

I learned that if I could read, I could cook. I surprised myself I like it.
