First of all, Versailles has this magic feeling.

I always wanted to do something in the Hall of Mirrors.

We are very fortunate, you know. We can do that

we were a little bit worried about the sound,

because you see a lot of mirrors, and chandeliers, and gold.

You really feel the brilliance of the room.

I had the great privilege to work with him,

It's really a kind of a happy song - it's called 'Happy'.

almost like a huge Hollywood movie plus a piano concerto, plus voice.

Hans did an incredible job to enlarge the ensembles.

Herbie and I became very close friends in 2007.

We had our first meeting at the Disney Hall in Los Angeles.

and also his beautiful touch, incredible, colorful.

He has such incredible feelings in his touch.

And then we had a wonderful tour, after the Grammies, in 2008.

He really encouraged me to start improvising.

I was always quite nervous when thinking about improvising.

So he helped me tremendously in this way.

'Rhapsody In Blue' has been quite an important piece to me

This year, in Paris, I played in front of the great Eiffel Tower

It was a beautiful evening that I will never forget.

And somehow, it's a kind of a welcoming piece

for everybody, no matter where we're from.

This one, it was a really, really big hit

I remember,  I tried to learn this piece,

later, it becomes exciting and gets to a heavy metal level.

to try to get emotionally involved in the same level.

On the stage, actually, before the curtain goes up.

And then he was totally sweating, and he said :

"I'm ready, I'm ready!" That's the spirit.

And I remember, after listening to it for the 20th time,

But because of Metallica, I started to listen more.

It's really interesting how people like him...

He said to me: "You know, we are actually in the same category."

The television audience was 4 billion people.

because it's so different... I was playing with a little girl.

I am kind of representing  the new generation of China,

and then, the little girl is representing the future,
