I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying.

I don't know what a shrink would call me. I don't want to know.

I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.
