At last a dream come true. The Instrument of Instruments.

We may be coming to a new golden age of instrument making.

In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God.

In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord's vengeance, I myself don't like it.

Everybody is someone else's instrument.

I will never master this craft. Orchestras are very, very forthcoming with me.

I don't try to make the guitar sound like the harpsichord or lute. That makes you end up being like a bad copy.

You know, the truth is that us actors would all like to believe we re-invent the wheel, every time we play a character. But, we're human beings and our instruments are not violins, they are our bodies and our consciousness and our collective life experience.

I hope I will always have the chance to play the violin.

The basic idea is always constructed around piano or guitar and a voice, that's what we live and die by, because if you build up from that foundation, it's going to be strong.
