- "I think there are so many ways to become interested in music. I believe signs of sustained interest gives a sense of the right time.

- "One is that you have to take time, lots of time, to let an idea grow from within. The second is that when you sign on to something, there will be issues of trust, deep trust, the way the members of a string quartet have to trust one another."
- "Good things happen when you meet strangers."
