We are full of rhythms . . . our pulse, our gestures, our digestive tracts, the lunar and seasonal cycles.

To be an outstanding musician, you have to be very attentive to the smallest detail and willing to have infinite patience in the pursuit of your ideal. You require absolute control and professionalism.

Music lives and breathes to tell us who we are and what we face. It is a path between ourselves and the infinite.

In reality, infinity is merely the distance to the heart of a stranger. Eternity is the moment of cognition.

Improvisation is not the expression of accident but rather of the accumulated yearnings, dreams and wisdom of our very soul.

I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.

The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency---half tiger,half poet.
