Thank God, I'll Never Have

I Don't Have Hobbies. I Have Passions.

The Most Important Thing In Music Is What Is Not In The Notes.

For Twelve Years I Studied And Worked At Them Every Day, And I Was Nearly 25 Before I Had The Courage To Play One Of Them In Public. Before I Did, No Violinist Or Cellist Had Ever Played A Suite In Its Entirety.

I Am A Very Simple Man. I Am A Man First, An Artist Second. My First Obligation Is To The Welfare Of My Fellow Man. I Will Endeavour To Meet This Obligation Through Music, Since It Transcends Language, Politics And National Boundaries.

To The Whole World You Might Be Just One Person, But To One Person You Might Just Be The Whole World.
