I played cello in my high school orchestra.

I studied the cello for a long time, from when I was little up through college.

When I started learning the cello, I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice - my voice.

I was a rebel and I wanted to do something that nobody else did, and nobody else played the cello. Also, I was also a small kid and I liked the fact that it was big.

I decided that I wanted to explore all kinds of music with my cello, not just the Western classical tradition. I just wanted to try and expand my vocabulary and bring that different kind of music to my audience.

I'm interested in directing attention and focus, explored through playing cello.

I had come from an orchestral background, but I didn't really have any orchestral pieces for film.

My mom says that my dad coerced me into choosing the cello. He says that's not entirely true. I don't remember; I was three.

I've discovered I can't make a film about people I dislike.

I love music. I still play cello a few times a week.
