I Don't Want To Portray Myself As

There Are Some Days I Take My Violin Out And It Feels Dreadful, Like Nothing Is Responding, And I Want To Sell It And Get Rid Of It. And The Next Day Suddenly The Skies Open Up And The Sound Is Glorious Again. So It's Like A Relationship: There Are Good Days And Bad Days.

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.

Actors Want To Do Shakespeare Again And Again, Or Want To Do Hamlet. When You Hear One Guy Do Hamlet And Another Guy Do It, It's Going To Be A Whole Different Experience.

I Like Working With Kids Because I Enjoy Seeing The Looks On Their Faces And, It's Kind Of Selfish, I Want A Future Audience.

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.
