I listen to kids play a lot.

In Paris they have special wheelchairs that go through every doorway. They don't change the doorways, they change the wheelchairs. To hell with the people! If someone weighs a couple more pounds, that's it!

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

If you play something well, I don't care what it is. I mean, I don't play an electric [violin] - I tried. It's actually interesting.

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.

There are people who are uncanny, who are finished products at a young age. I wasn't, thank God.

Believe me, I've had interviews where the person says, "So when did you start and why? What about your parents?" I say to them, "Please, have you heard of the word Google?"
