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
This machine, the wheelchair, I can go all over the place, but you need a place without stairs to get in.
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.
