00:00One of the reasons why I work so hard at the piano is because I have nothing to fall back
00:09on. I don't come from privately educated music. It was all done through schemes from
00:16the council and stuff. For me, classical music is the finest form of human expression. You
00:27may not be good with words, but somehow that music explains it perfectly without saying
00:32a single word. You don't need to be a certain person to do that. I think you just need to
00:38be a human. I can say with confidence that if I didn't do boxing, I probably would have
00:49had a criminal record. The discipline you need is very similar with the piano. You need to be
00:58so willing to leave your ego outside to grow and get better. We're about to start all over again.
01:06We've got a boxer in the middle of the station. I hope he's not going to beat up the piano. When
01:12he's happy, he's going to play. When he's not happy, he's going to boom!
01:33Voila, number four is a very difficult piece.
01:43Do you think he's aware of how difficult this piece really is? Not really. That's what I love
01:49about him. He's fearless.
