More quotes by Itzhak Perlman
Sometimes you get from the mouth of kids wonderful things.
Itzhak Perlman
When you play a concerto with a small orchestra, you don't feel it is as important as Carnegie Hall. You try to work out all the little problems. Once that's all done, trust comes in.

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
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
The most important thing to do is really listen.
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
Life is not as easy as it could be for a person with a disability.
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
I'm just a one-instrument player. I have been known to play a blender, but I basically play - just play the violin.
