How has music supported your personal growth?

I believe playing the violin particularly saved my life, because I was kind of a loner child and highly sensitive, and the only place that really was safe was alone with my violin, where I could really go into myself.

It was a win-win situation.

The more inside myself I got, the better I got as a violinist.

So the violin became actually a person to relate to.

[radio beeping] How has feminism changed from when you were young?

Well, when I was a child, there was no such term as feminists or feminism.

I had to make up my own role models and whomever or whatever they were.
