I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.

I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good!

I tried to learn the violin for a while.

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

We developed our own type of Igudesman and Joo electric violin, let's say, and funny enough, the shape of it was developed by the head technician of Steinway. It's actually an electric violin, which is made from the stick that holds up the piano lid.

I played the violin my whole life. I wanted to play from the time I was just a little kid, and I've always loved dance as well. I wanted to make people smile. I wanted to add an extra energy to my playing and make it visual and make it unique and fun.

Every violinist has a different style, so it's important to be able to recognise their styles. You don't have to like everyone's style but you have to know these styles.

Another thing that I don't like to do is show too much how it goes. I do it once in a blue moon. Sometimes there are lessons when I don't pick up a violin at all.

I am playing the violin, that's all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day.
