Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.

I started skiing around the same time as I began playing the piano, at around four, before moving to the violin at five.

I will be the Thai equivalent of Eddie the Eagle.

You can insure yourself up to your eyeballs, but if you don't take risks, what's the point? You have to enjoy life.

Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.

Happiness goes like the wind, but what is interesting stays.
