I am not a long-run actor. I admire actors who can do that.

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

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.

My father, who died a few years ago, was a good, simple, very honest man. His faith and affection for his family was just unassailable, without question.

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

If it's right and true, it's listened to and accommodated.

We lament the speed of our society and the lack of depth and the nature of disposable information.
