Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.

Violin playing is a physical art with great traditions behind it.

Music is about the performance.

Kids can be born with potential but unless it's encouraged - pushed, even - I don't think it will ever come to fruition.

But I still think it's mind over matter in the sense that if you're strong, you can combat anything.

But I don't think I've grown up to be a damaged adult.
