My goal would be trying to bring some light to the world, which is often a dark and violent place.

I guess really what my goal is is just to enlarge the violin repertoire.

It's nice not to have the majority of the attention on me like there is when playing a concerto with an orchestra.

People, of all ages, are far more open than you might think to being moved in new ways.

I'm a big fan of PlayStation 4. I like watching movies, TV shows, comedy specials, and listening to comedy albums and music. I'm also a big fan of getting coffee with a friend or catching up on the phone with people I've known for years, people who keep me grounded, who knew me before.

I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.

I experimented with my own one-man show a couple of years ago in Aspen when HBO used to have their comedy festival there. I called it 'A History of Me.'

Most parts in comedy, they're not really written for men. They're written for, like, these boy-men.
