Evelyn Glennie

I've kept a diary since I was 11.

I didn't decide to become a musician until the age of 15, which is quite late.

Music really is our daily medicine.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.

Personally I'm very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

I've never met Eminem; you don't meet Eminem. He has his own secret service.
