More quotes by Itzhak Perlman
I do three things. I do teaching, I do conducting and I do playing. And each one of those sort of helps the other.
Itzhak Perlman
Perhaps our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
Itzhak Perlman
Same thing with harmonies. If you hear something that harmonically is interesting, express it. So that's what I'm saying about talking the music rather than just playing through.

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
You decide to be a musician, you have to put in the time.
Itzhak Perlman
Believe me, I've had interviews where the person says, So when did you start and why? What about your parents? I say to them, Please, have you heard of the word Google?
Itzhak Perlman
This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in.
Itzhak Perlman
I'm just a one-instrument player. I have been known to play a blender, but I basically play - just play the violin.
Itzhak Perlman
Everybody has a different kind of talent and a different timetable as to when they develop.
Itzhak Perlman
Child prodigy is a curse because you've got all those terrible possibilities.
