I always find that there is a real communication between voice and violin.

I have a very simple philosophy. One has to separate the abilities from the disabilities. The fact I cannot walk, that I need crutches or a scooter or whatever it is, has nothing to do with my playing the violin.

For every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them.

Trust your ability!

Every person with a disability is an individual.

I always find Bach to be an expression of a love of life. There's an enthusiasm that's absolutely contagious.

I don't feel that the conductor has real power. The orchestra has the power, and every member of it knows instantaneously if you're just beating time.

I am playing the violin, that's all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day.

So many things can drive you mad as a child, not only music.
