"I had denied myself Chopin because everything that belonged to my past had to be abandoned. And when I heard it again, I realized that no, not everything had to be left behind. All I to do was retrieve the things I loved and get rid of the things that were destroying me. I didn't have to taint everything. That's the mistake I made. I was destroying what I loved in order to be free of what I hated."
