“I grew up in a musical family, but nobody was a professional musician.” — Joshua Bell Quote

“I grew up in a musical family, but nobody was a professional musician.”

“My father was - actually was an Episcopal priest as a young man. Became a psychotherapist, a psychologist. My mother is Jewish, so I grew up in a mixed background. But the common denominator was certainly music, and that was sort of emphasized in my household as music being sort of the spiritual force.”

“When you hear extraneous noise, they are bored in some way, so it makes me upset. Even coughing, I find, is passive-aggressive, usually.”

“I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale.”

“I'd love to play a musician in a film.”

“I've never viewed myself as 'just' a musician or singer.”
