{{Quote box| quoted=true|width=40%|bgcolor=#D8D8D8|align=right|quote= Dear young colleagues of the up-and-coming generation, please have the courage to be yourselves, to take risks and not be copies of your recordings or of others'. Practice your instrument in order to free yourself from any psycho-technical constraint, to be able to create when you play. Listen to your inner ear, which is connected directly to your heart and spirit, the one that tells you what you feel is you! And the one you don't feel isn't you. Remember that a beautiful "wrong" note by a Kreisler, a Thibaud, a Casals or a Callas is worth more than a thousand so-called "right" notes and that playing that is hygienically and clinically correct is not necessarily a sign of good health! Take heart! Good health to you! <br />(Ivry Gitlis – January 2007)<ref>Gitlis – CD Booklet for the first release of Paganini's 24 Caprices (Philips, January 2007)</ref><ref>Gitlis – L'Âme et la corde, foreword (Buchet-Chastel, 2013)</ref>}}
* "... don't be so polite with the music, it's like being in love!" (IG, during a masterclass, 31 October 2011)
* "Sheet music is a bunch of black marks; they have no significance ... I play violin, but in order to play well you have to be much more than a violin player. There is an entire world that lives together with it, like the currents in the ocean; and in any event, often I don't use sheet music at all, but improvise."
