I hope I will always have the chance to play the violin.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm one of the boys, no better than the last second violinist. I'm just the lucky one to be standing in the center, telling them how to play.
I guess really what my goal is is just to enlarge the violin repertoire.
I tried to learn the violin for a while.
I am playing the violin, that's all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day.
The only downside to playing the violin is that you never know when you're going to be asked to play. I could be out to dinner or having a drink at a bar, and someone could just give me a violin, and I've got to be ready to play.
It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.
I wish I could sing or play an instrument.
Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin.
If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.
It is my aim, my destination in life to make the cello as beloved an instrument as the violin and piano.
