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.

The most important thing to do is really listen.

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.

This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in.

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

One of the most important elements in teaching, conducting, and performing, all three, is listening.
