Some people know me because of my music and come and see me in my concerts but you very rarely see me or hear me in press or TV or radio magazines.

The piano by its black and white keys always attracted me, my father showed me how to use... and slowly I got into playing.

I think that you can absolutely enjoy your artistic passion without seeking for the cult of celebrity.

I am rather what we usually call a Pop pianist with my own romantic style.

I am not what one calls a celebrity.

I am rather discreet and shy!

I do not remember the most challenging one but I remember that many of the titles I have recorded have been quite challenging for me.

A long time ago, I remember having cooperated with Shirley Bassey and I will never forget this moment which I shared with her while playing for and with her.

In fact, among the 1000 titles which I have recorded in the past 35 years, there are less than 10% of classical titles.

There is also the guitar player Pat Metheny with whom I'd like to work with: he is so elegant and so emotional when he plays that I am sure that, together, we could make a good team.

Live is good!

No revolutionary movement is complete without its poetical expression.

No matter how sophisticated the camera, the photographer is still the one that makes it.

Analysis does not take into account the creative products of neurotic desires.

No one can live with nothing.

I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?

A crafty knave needs no broker.

We are made ridiculous less by our defects than by the affectation of qualities which are not ours.

True baseball fans do not cheer for their teams to win; they cheer for them not to lose. Victory does not come with joy, it comes with relief. Losing causes only pain.
