What drew me to the violin was mastering the instrument technically, which I'm continuing to do.

When you play for ticket-holders, you are already validated. I have no sense that I need to be accepted. I'm already accepted.
morning latin clubs
I don't listen to a lot of music when I have my free time. But I'll go to a jazz club and have a drink and listen to a good jazz musician. Or sometimes in the morning, if I want to put myself in a good mood, I'll put on some Latin music.

You don't have to have lots of love affairs to know what love is.

You only live once, so I try to say yes to everything.

Conducting is a strange thing to teach.

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.
