I want to do everything. That's my problem.

Actors want to do Shakespeare again and again, or want to do Hamlet. When you hear one guy do Hamlet and another guy do it, it's going to be a whole different experience.

Being a classical musician, you're doing many things anyway. One day you're doing Bach concerto and the next you're doing some avant-garde thing. It's just another hat that I'm allowed to wear.

I never had any real expectations about what sort of success I would have or all the publicity.

I write arrangements. Im sort of a wannabe composer.

I love the outdoor festival feeling.

When you play for ticket-holders, you are already validated. I have no sense that I need to be accepted. I'm already accepted.
