Although I hardly ever turn on the TV set unless it's football season, I do watch a lot of TV on my iPad - perfect for long airplane journeys.

When you play a violin piece, you are a storyteller, and you're telling a story.

We live in the least ugly time in history.

No one tells you what to do if you completely flop at the beginning of a performance.

I always find it funny when people say, "I don't really like classical music" or "it doesn't do anything for me." I tell them, "Well, you know, it does. You go to films and you're responding to it, and you've heard it..." It's controlling you! So don't think you're not being affected. It's a great medium for music.

I love the outdoor festival feeling.

So much of performing is a mind game.
