I love to work with young kids.

I find personally that when I go to a place where I can't get in, I feel hostility from whatever it is, a hotel, a shop, a market, a street corner where there are no curb cuts, because somebody forgot to put them in, and where I have to go two blocks to the corner to do it. A lot of the excuses are, "Well, this is an old building." That's my favorite one. "This is an old building." It's as though 50 years ago, people with disabilities did not exist. As if the disabled are a new problem. It has always been a problem.

For every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them.

I listen to kids play a lot.

I'm just a one-instrument player. I have been known to play a blender, but I basically play - just play the violin.

A lot of people like to think that polio was a inspiration in what I do. I think that music has to do with what kind of passion do you have.

The most important thing to do is really listen.
