I’m always hungry to learn. I always look for something that I can study.
I don’t really want to force anyone to feel a specific way, but if they can keep their body and mind “floating” with my music, that pleases me.
Every day is different and improvised. Sometimes, a song can lead to a completely different adventure. You can’t control it.
Music came first and I started to jam with people I couldn’t communicate in their language. Then, because I could make friends thanks to music, they started to talk to me. Then I started to learn English.
For the piano and me it is always a blind date! I meet different pianos every single day. I can’t take my piano with me like a bassist can take his instrument. So whenever I arrive I am a bit nervous to see what kind of piano is waiting for me.
My biggest musical dream is to keep playing all my life. There’s nothing bigger than that and that’s very challenging because you have to satisfy yourself at every stage.
Once I meet the piano, I have no other choice, because I need to have a good date right! So I am trying to please the piano to have the best outcome.
When you play with someone you can feel the chemistry with, just the first show is already magic.
You’re born and things stick to you. Some fall off, but most you carry around for the rest of your life. Let me be old and foolish when I grow up.
If the love is true, then treat it the same way you would plant – feed it, protect it from the elements – you must do absolutely everything you can. But if it isn’t true, then it’s best to just let it wither on the vine.
Forcing myself to make conversation felt like standing on a cliff, peering over the edge, about to tumble down headfirst.
Would you like consider a relationship with me, based on a premise of love.
If not kept in check, night-time thoughts are prone to amplification.
I rode the bus alone, I walked around the city alone, I did my shopping alone, and I drank alone.
Everyone causes trouble for someone at some point in their lives.
There are plenty of people in the world I don’t dislike, some of whom I almost like; on the other hand, I almost hate some of those whom I don’t dislike, too. But how many people did I truly love?
A person can learn all manner of things, no matter where he finds himself, provided his spirit is determined.
Having to worry about whether someone is healthy enough to tolerate my fierce hatred or criticism before I decide to blame them – that’s what I call getting old.
The number of kiwis was increasing by the minute. When I looked about me, there were dozens of them, all identical, and each one fired off a question to me in turn.
I felt a sudden rush of warmth in my body, and felt the tears well up once again. But I didn’t cry. It’s always better to drink than to cry.
