I Don't Want To Portray Myself As

I Think If There's Ever Been A Time We Need Music More, It's Now. For Our Kids, It Teaches You To Take Time, To Listen, To Work Together, To Listen To Other People, And To Use Your Brain. That's Why Classical Music Doesn't Work When You Throw It At People In A Subway Platform While They're Rushing To Work. Classical Music Is Something That Needs To Be Contemplated, You Have To Be Completely Present With An Active Mind That's Working. It's Not Background Music.

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

I Don't Listen To A Lot Of Music When I Have My Free Time. But I'll Go To A Jazz Club And Have A Drink And Listen To A Good Jazz Musician. Or Sometimes In The Morning, If I Want To Put Myself In A Good Mood, I'll Put On Some Latin Music.

I Was Lucky Enough To Have Parents Who Started Me On Music Very Early, But Most Kids Don't Get That Kind Of Exposure.

At A Music Hall, I'll Get Upset If Someone Coughs Or If Someone's Cellphone Goes Off.
