I Love The Outdoor Festival Feeling.

We Live In The Least Ugly Time In History. If You Look At Back When Beethoven Was Writing, Half The Kids Were Dying, Mothers Were Dying At Childbirth, There Were More Wars Going On Then Than There Are Now. People Wrote The Most Beautiful Things During The Ugliest Times.

I Like Trying Things, I Am Kind Of Adventurous And I Like Thrill Seeking.

There Are Some Days I Take My Violin Out And It Feels Dreadful, Like Nothing Is Responding, And I Want To Sell It And Get Rid Of It. And The Next Day Suddenly The Skies Open Up And The Sound Is Glorious Again. So It's Like A Relationship: There Are Good Days And Bad Days.

When You Play For Ticket-holders, You Are Already Validated. I Have No Sense That I Need To Be Accepted. I'm Already Accepted.

When You Play A Violin Piece, You Are A Storyteller, And You're Telling A Story.
