Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin.

If you're a musician, there's no instrument that can be withheld from you. If you're drawn to it, develop the talent for it.

I write on all instruments.

Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer.

I really feel like I've written my most effective music in the instrumental realms.

It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much.

I don't have a great instrument. I don't have the kind of ungodly control over my voice and body that great actors have. And I've worked with enough great actors to know that I'm not one.

I'm a very musical person.

I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.

Voice is my instrument.
