When I hit my 20s, I took a chill pill and relaxed because throughout my teens I was churning out an album a year. It was a treadmill of work then recording, promoting and touring.

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.

In an ideal world, I'd spend every weekend at my home in Zermatt in Switzerland.

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

But I still think it's mind over matter in the sense that if you're strong, you can combat anything.

I do not forget any good deed done to me & I do not carry a grudge for a bad one.

This is the Easter message, that awakening is possible, to the goodness of God, the sacredness of human life, the sisterhood and brotherhood of all.

I deal with misunderstood aspects of animal behaviour like anxiety and aggression. I teach people how to respect different species and let a dog be a dog.

See golden days, fruitful of golden deeds, With joy and love triumphing.

Leap, and the net appears.

Religion reveals the meaning of life, and science only applies this meaning to the course of circumstances.

After Rossini dies, who will be there to promote his music?

I was definitely ahead of my friends. I was French-kissing girls way before anybody else was.

I hold the line, the line of strength that pulls me from the fear.

Beautiful isles! beneath the sunset skies tall, silver-shafted palm-trees rise, between full orange-trees that shade the living colonade.
