Life is not as easy as it could be for a person with a disability.

Itzhak Perlman
Child prodigy is a curse because you've got all those terrible possibilities.
Itzhak Perlman
If you play something well, I don't care what it is. I mean, I don't play an electric [violin] - I tried. It's actually interesting.
Itzhak Perlman
Just imagine yourself in a wheelchair. Go through the building. If there's a place you can't go in, it's not accessible.
Itzhak Perlman
For every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them.
Itzhak Perlman
One must always practice slowly. If you learn something slowly, you forget it slowly.
Itzhak Perlman
I always say separate your abilities from your disabilities. You know, if I could play the violin, I don't have to play it standing up. I can play it sitting down and so on.
Itzhak Perlman
Sometimes you get from the mouth of kids wonderful things.
Itzhak Perlman
I can actually see the sound in my head. I can actually see it... But each sound is different so this one has that sparkle, there is a sparkle to the sound.
