I Like Trying Things, I Am Kind

There's Nothing More Frustrating Than Seeing A Conductor Say, 'play Softer,' As They're Waving Their Hands In Huge Gestures.

What Drew Me To The Violin Was Mastering The Instrument Technically, Which I'm Continuing To Do.

I Open Up My Violin Case Every Day, And Have One Of The Great Creations. It Is Very Inspiring. It Makes You Want To Practice. How Can You Open Up A Case And Look At A Violin That Was Made In 1713 By One Of The Greatest Artists In History And Then Say, "no, I Don't Feel Like Practicing Today."

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

I Want To Do Everything. That's My Problem.
