I really would like to be involved in things and to understand things, and in some ways you've got to be careful what you wish for because I feel very, very blessed to have such an interesting life and to be able to have little snapshots of lives of people from many different parts of the world.

Yo-Yo Ma
I don't always have a five-year plan. One thing you must do in life is keep your learning curve as high as possible.
Yo-Yo Ma
You go through phases. You have to reinvent reasons for playing, and one year's answer might not do for another.
Yo-Yo Ma
People will ask, 'Are you famous?' And I always answer, 'My mother thinks so.'
Yo-Yo Ma
I realized late in life that my twin passions are music and people.
Yo-Yo Ma
Culture opens our hearts to one another. And the currency in culture is not money, but trust.
Yo-Yo Ma
The tradition of classical music and the opera is such that it used to be the place where social intercourse could take place between all parts of society: politicians, industrialists, artists, citizens, etc. That tradition, I think, still exists, but it's much, much more diluted.
Yo-Yo Ma
My involvement in the political arena is to make sure there's a place for culture.
Yo-Yo Ma
