High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.

I will never master this craft. Orchestras are very, very forthcoming with me.

Every time I hear, Cut. Print, something cold and electrical goes off in my head, because I'm never going to change that film.

You hear the same work by different orchestras, different conductors, violinists, pianists, singers, and slowly, the work reveals itself and begins to live deeper in you.

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

I had a meeting in LA in which they took a really overstuffed hour and a half. It was as close to old Hollywood as I remembered it in the last 20 years.

People are nice enough, but you can hear the giant tick of the second hand. People are so harried.
