More quotes by Itzhak Perlman
A Century of Wisdom is universal and will enrich readers for generations to come.
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
Sometimes you get from the mouth of kids wonderful things.
Itzhak Perlman
I don't feel that the conductor has real power. The orchestra has the power, and every member of it knows instantaneously if you're just beating time.
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
Child prodigy is a curse because you've got all those terrible possibilities.
Itzhak Perlman
Nothing is better for my playing than teaching because when you teach, you have to think and you have to listen what other people do. And then all of a sudden, you play yourself and then you say, my goodness, I don't need a teacher. I'm my own teacher. Then I can react to what I'm doing immediately. It really improves.
Itzhak Perlman
I look at raising funds for The Perlman Music Program as a challenge and as a way to provide opportunities for people who care about the future of classical music.

This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in.
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 people who are really talented, what you don't say becomes extremely important. You have to judge what to say and what to leave alone so you can let the talent develop.
Itzhak Perlman
Sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.
Itzhak Perlman
There is nothing like a fine Italian sound.
Itzhak Perlman
I couldn't only do one thing--I don't want the personal hell of oneness.
Itzhak Perlman
I don't walk on stage unless I'm playing with a orchestra. But when I play a recital, I'm sort of on a scooter, and I just scoot very quickly on stage, and they're saying, wow, look at this. He's so fast.
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
One of the great challenges is to know when things are not right.
Itzhak Perlman
..I heard Ori Kam and was deeply impressed with his achievements as a violist. His technical and interpretive skills are truly unique. I see a great future for him.
Itzhak Perlman
Every person with a disability has a slightly different kind of disability. Not everybody has the same problems. Usually the wheelchairs are the wheelchairs. It's the same height and so on. It's a problem.
Itzhak Perlman
I feel that you always pay when you are a child.
