Joshua Bell

I think - I'm always interested in reaching people in different ways, not by - not by just standing on a - randomly on a subway platform.

The man on the street, he knows who Beethoven is, he knows who Mozart is.

Playing the Beethoven symphonies, for example, is a consummate experience for a musician because Beethoven speaks so directly to who we are as people.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

I squirrel away sealed greeting cards that people give me so I can open them later when I'm having a bad day.
