Recently, I went to a disco with friends, and all the young people were saying, 'Dudamel, we want to go to your concert, but it's impossible because it's sold out.' It's really amazing.

I wanted to play my violin and have my musical expression through the instrument. But then I was really young when I had my first opportunity to conduct.

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.

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.

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

My material life is simple.
