When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session.

When it becomes clear that no one else shares your level of passion, you are where you belong.

When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight.

I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys.

The high note is not the only thing.

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers: me personally, I try to sound like a Bösendorfer.

I hope I have given back half the joy music has given me.

My strength is my enthusiasm.

We all have a destiny in accordance with the breadth of our shoulders. My shoulders are broad.

I am very pleased it has all been resolved. I wanted to stay at the club and they wanted me too, there was never a problem. There were only a few small matters to sort out.

We must love all facts, not for their consequences, but because in each fact God is there present.
