It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.

The violin is very beautiful. Some people relate it as the shape of a lady, but, whether you like it or not, it's been so for more than 400 years, unlike modern stuff that easily looks dated. But I think it's very personal and unique that, although each violin looks pretty similar, that no two violins sound the same.

I am very lucky and grateful to have this living link to a past era, the violin presumably having much more history to it than the later portion that I know.

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.

It would be easier to say, what was the difference in style from many years ago. Many years ago, the old violinists, they also had a good technique, they were not tonally as good.

If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.

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.

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

I had studied violin from age 7 to 14.
