Although I Hardly Ever Turn

We Live In The Least Ugly Time In History. If You Look At Back When Beethoven Was Writing, Half The Kids Were Dying, Mothers Were Dying At Childbirth, There Were More Wars Going On Then Than There Are Now. People Wrote The Most Beautiful Things During The Ugliest Times.

I Don't Want To Portray Myself As A Daredevil. I'm Not At All.

When You Play A Violin Piece, You Are A Storyteller, And You're Telling A Story.

I Never Had Any Real Expectations About What Sort Of Success I Would Have Or All The Publicity.

I Always Find It Funny When People Say, "i Don't Really Like Classical Music" Or "it Doesn't Do Anything For Me." I Tell Them, "well, You Know, It Does. You Go To Films And You're Responding To It, And You've Heard It..." It's Controlling You! So Don't Think You're Not Being Affected. It's A Great Medium For Music.
