The way I look at it is that somebody in the world, no matter what your field is - teacher, violinist, football player - has to be the best. Why not me?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
I think - whether it's music, literature, sport, art, whatever you want - there's nobody who can stop us if we only apply ourselves with the singular objective of being the best in the world.
Everyone has a talent. It's simply a question of good discipline, of the good fortune to have an education that meshes with that talent, and a lot of luck.
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
When you can hear a violinist, that is better than you, then you learn from him, because if you play with somebody who is worse than you, then you go down.
As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given.
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 see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.
Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.
