I Want To Do Everything.

Conducting Is A Strange Thing To Teach.

Actors Want To Do Shakespeare Again And Again, Or Want To Do Hamlet. When You Hear One Guy Do Hamlet And Another Guy Do It, It's Going To Be A Whole Different Experience.

I Was Lucky Enough To Have Parents Who Started Me On Music Very Early, But Most Kids Don't Get That Kind Of Exposure.

No One Tells You What To Do If You Completely Flop At The Beginning Of A Performance.

I Think If There's Ever Been A Time We Need Music More, It's Now. For Our Kids, It Teaches You To Take Time, To Listen, To Work Together, To Listen To Other People, And To Use Your Brain. That's Why Classical Music Doesn't Work When You Throw It At People In A Subway Platform While They're Rushing To Work. Classical Music Is Something That Needs To Be Contemplated, You Have To Be Completely Present With An Active Mind That's Working. It's Not Background Music.
