I used to practice cello while watching TV and films. I watched several complete TV series this way, including 'Lost' and 'The Wire.' As a kid, I'd read books while playing.

My mom says that my dad coerced me into choosing the cello. He says that's not entirely true. I don't remember; I was three.

There's a great energy and drive that takes precedence in a lot of rock and pop. It's about making a strong visceral connection. That's something that I think great classical music can have, too.

I've learned that even the word 'jubilee' used in connection with the Reformation can give rise to discussions.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

I think the main thing I remembered throughout all of filming it was just that she just was extremely self-destructive. I think everybody can relate to that a little bit. She doesn't like herself.
