I Am Tired Before The Concert, Not

Sometimes When I Sit Down To Practice And There Is No One Else In The Room, I Have To Stifle An Impulse To Ring For The Elevator Man And Offer Him Money To Come In And Hear Me.

Even When I'm Sick And Depressed, I Love Life.

At Every Concert I Leave A Lot To The Moment. I Must Have The Unexpected, The Unforeseen. I Want To Risk, To Dare. I Want To Be Surprised By What Comes Out. I Want To Enjoy It More Than The Audience. That Way The Music Can Bloom Anew. It's Like Making Love. The Act Is Always The Same, But Each Time It's Different.

You Cannot Play The Piano Well Unless You Are Singing Within You.

I'm A Free Person; I Feel Terribly Free. They Could Put Me In Chains And I Still Would Be Free Because My Thoughts Would Be Mine - And That's All I Want To Have.
