Classical music in Venezuela is now something like a pop concert. You can see people screaming or crying because they don't have a ticket.

I have eaten very well in Los Angeles. Marvelously!

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

When you play Mozart, it's so clean, it's so simple. It's the body naked.

Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. It can be a long journey. There's the ticket prices. But when the music goes to the community - not the community coming to the concert - they say, 'Wow! I didn't know that this music was so amazing!

My material life is simple.

I love to travel, but sometimes it's nice to stay in one place.
