My everyday life is not just walking around on clouds. But you have to give the really special things in life importance and not let the temporary things roll you off the road.

From Anat Cohen

Sometimes I get off stage, and I almost have no recollection of what happened. It's almost like a trance; it's very bizarre.

From Anat Cohen

I've always been attracted to multicultural music. It's where the world is going.

From Anat Cohen

We still have to overcome the notion that a clarinet squeaks. People need to remember what a beautiful instrument it is, including in popular music.

From Anat Cohen

Clarinet is an incredible instrument. It's a great, expressive instrument.

From Anat Cohen

The clarinet has always been my baby. I just didn't know that for a while.

From Anat Cohen

When I play the clarinet, I am 100 percent myself. It is as if it is part of my body. I can play whatever I think. Let me just read a melody and make it as sweet as I can.

From Anat Cohen

I feel like sometimes I get even more goofy onstage than I am offstage. I'm not trying to make the music less than what it is. Even if it's hard for me and I have to think about a lot of details, it's none of the audience's business. I don't want them to feel that I'm having a hard time.

From Anat Cohen

To me, music is a luminous experience. Whenever I'm immersed in it, life lights up for me, no matter what else is going on.

From Anat Cohen

Whether it's performing a concert with my quartet or sitting in with my peers, enjoying musical conversations at home with my brothers or hanging and playing choro with my friends - sharing moments in that bright space of music are the happiest times.
