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

Everyone should in some way be creative, irrespective of the quality of that which he creates.

If I wanted to play the violin, I had to work. Because anything that one wants to do really, and one loves doing, one must do everyday. It should be as easy to the artist and as natural as flying is to a bird. And you can’t imagine a bird saying well, I’m tired today, I’m not going to fly!

The art of creation lies in the gift of perceiving the particular and generalizing it, thus creating the particular again. It is therefore a powerful transforming force and a generator of creative solutions in relation to a given problem.

Our life must have an aim, but we must also ensure that the direction we take is a good one.
