Playing a concerto with Zubin is like being surrounded by a well-loved, cashmere-lined silk glove.

Outsiders always look for a reason to explain why they are not inside. They never look in the mirror. Let's face it, the profession I'm in is a very simple and a very cruel one. There is no way that you can create a career for someone without talent and no way to stop a career of someone with talent.

I have a responsibility to pass on to the next generation what I learned from my teachers, ... It keeps me young and reminds me where I came from. Teaching young artists is like giving water to a flower.

A man possesses talent; genius possesses the man.

It is only through failure and through experiment that we learn and grow.

Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.
