Andre Rieu

I believe that music in itself heals and that everything is about the power of the mind. I thought if you are happy, you don’t get ill. Your health is in your head. When you are satisfied with your work, you don’t get ill.

André Rieu

I have two speeds, nothing and full pelt.

I’m an unhealable positive optimist.

André Rieu

Contrary to popular opinion, classical music does not have to be enjoyed amid exclusive circles, there need not be any snobbishness attached to it. It’s there for everyone. I play for the people.

André Rieu

Critics or musicians who attack me are jealous of my success and the fact that I make people feel so happy.

I first picked up a violin aged five – I just assumed everyone played.

I know that when I like music, when it touches my heart, that it will touch your heart, too. That, I think, is the secret to my success.

André Rieu

I make music to touch the souls of people as it’s a language we all can speak.

André Rieu

Now, I’ve changed my life to make sure I work only on what I love.

André Rieu

The waltz is a very important part of my life. It’s the best way for me to express my positiveness, bringing humor to the world.
