When I was five I had violin lessons.

I started playing violin when I was six, so I thought I could be a professional. It wasn't until I was 15 when I got into acting classes and realized this was what I wanted to do.

I wanted to play my violin and have my musical expression through the instrument. But then I was really young when I had my first opportunity to conduct.

I was playing violin for a long time, about 6 years. It takes a while. You need very patient people in your house when you have a violin.

I've played the violin since I was seven but stopped because there was a stage when it became 'uncool'. I was listening to Nirvana and wanted to play the guitar, so I ditched the violin.

We had a normal childhood. I played baseball, and we played violin in orchestras three times a week. I learned more from that than anything else.

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

I tried to learn the violin for a while.
