There's been a concerted effort to steal Christmas.

I actually may do a musical next year... not one that I've written one that I may star in. Plus my concert and other people's work and all of a sudden you've got a very full life.

I used to work all the time and now if there is a wedding there's a concert I'm there.

When you play a concerto with a small orchestra you don't feel it is as important as Carnegie Hall. You try to work out all the little problems. Once that's all done trust comes in.

I really enjoy what I do and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that I'm not really a person of habit because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people and occasionally do very weird things.

If you lock me in the room with a piano teacher for a year I might be able to knock out a rendition of 'Roll Out The Barrel ' but will I ever be a concert pianist? No.

Once I understood Bach's music I wanted to be a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music and it was that teacher who introduced me to his world.

I work out I play sports I go to concerts.

Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.

I respect the people who buy my records and come to my concerts. It's only fair that I always try to give them the very best that's in me. After all I need them more than they need me.
