I want to work with the big orchestras. I want to have a big family.

You have to believe that things will happen, you have to work and love what you're doing.

It's a physical challenge. It's a spiritual challenge. I'm studying almost every day a different symphony, not returning to any one for a week.

I think it's a very important collaboration between the conductor and the orchestra - especially when the conductor is one more member of the orchestra in the way that you are leading, but also respecting, feeling and building the same way for all the players to understand the music.

I set out to create a means whereby music could be a way of vindicating the rights of the masses.

In my imagination yes, I remember, when I was six years old, I was conducting all this concert in my house. But now it's real.
