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

I guess really what my goal is is just to enlarge the violin repertoire.

Next year I'm going to be a guesting soloist with orchestras all over Europe, to start off with.

We are excited about the music, past and present and future, and are really looking forward to playing.

I'm in a position where, theoretically, I could play the same ten concertos and make a very good living bouncing around playing Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Barber, but I really think artists should keep pushing limits and trying new things.

There's nothing more exciting to me than using real instruments in the studio.

I really, really love new work, and that's why, you know, I produced a concert series supporting new musicals and stuff like that. I hope to do more things like that.

Right now I just finished writing the music for a Rugrats feature film and the third week of September I go to London, and the Orchestra is going to perform the score.

We are so excited to be touring and showing audiences the versatility of the cello.

I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos.
