Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

When something's ending, you go through so many phases, and it can be frustrating. But once you're out on the other side, it's like you can really see all the crazy phases you went through.

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

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