A sponge has that much absorbent capability and after a while you can pour water over it and nothing stays.

Another thing that I don't like to do is show too much how it goes. I do it once in a blue moon. Sometimes there are lessons when I don't pick up a violin at all.

Sometimes you get from the mouth of kids wonderful things.

Sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.

Everybody has a different kind of talent and a different timetable as to when they develop.

That makes classical music work, the ability to improvise.

I listen to kids play a lot.
