I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
We can't do a modern Batman continually beating up thugs in zoot suits with tommy guns in violin cases. The game has to move on. It has to feel relevant.
An hour of violin lessons in Berlin is an hour where you get the child interested in music. An hour in a violin lesson in Palestine is an hour away from violence, is an hour away from fundamentalism.
You can imagine me as a kid growing up in redneck Texas with ballet shoes, tucking the violin under my arm. I had to fight my way up.
It is my aim, my destination in life to make the cello as beloved an instrument as the violin and piano.
Mozart has written opera, symphony, sacred and chamber music - not to mention his piano and violin concerti.
I've played every instrument you could possibly think of for 10 minutes. So I'm mediocre at everything. I can play drums, guitar, piano, violin, saxophone, clarinet, flute... Just not well.
I am playing the violin, that's all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day.
When you play a violin piece, you are a storyteller, and you're telling a story.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
