It's long been my dream to have myself declared incompetent so I could just practice all day, and blog, and not have to take care of any normal life things.

I was a kid with a lot of different, strange interests - kind of crazy.

I'm one of those pianists who tends to ignore every existing recording and lots of traditions about playing pieces when I start.

Everybody in life is a chameleon.

When I left Barcelona, staying in Spain was an important factor in my decision to join Madrid. I did not have to change country or learn a new language, adopt a different sort of lifestyle, and so on.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
