Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.

I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.

Very often, I don't make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.

I'd forgotten I'd done the anime called Spirited Away, the English version of a Japanese film.

When something really extreme happens, you have to find a way to embrace that and include it in how you think about the character. Sometimes it's not easy.

Because I don't take money, I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.
