I'm Passionately Involved In Life: I Love Its Change, Its Color, Its Movement. To Be Alive, To Be Able To See, To Walk, To Have Houses, Music, Paintings - It's All A Miracle.

I Have Found That If You Love Life, Life Will Love You Back.

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.

Sometimes I Think, Not So Much Am I A Pianist, But A Vampire. All My Life I Have Lived Off The Blood Of Chopin.

It Took Great Courage To Ask A Beautiful Young Woman To Marry Me. Believe Me, It Is Easier To Play The Whole Petrushka On The Piano.
