Joshua Bell

The man on the street, he knows who Beethoven is, he knows who Mozart is.

I think - I'm always interested in reaching people in different ways, not by - not by just standing on a - randomly on a subway platform.

Playing the Beethoven symphonies, for example, is a consummate experience for a musician because Beethoven speaks so directly to who we are as people.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

I don't like to get in front of people.
