And, over the last thirty years we have seen men's participation in both housework and childcare has increased and women's have stayed at about the same.

There is no relationship between the gestures and what an orchestra will do.

But the important thing is to lie down and fall asleep. That little nap means you wake up fresh again and can continue.

Great cataclysmic things can go by and neither the orchestra nor the conductor are under the delusion that whether they make this or that gesture is going to be the deciding factor in how it comes out.

We're in the midst of an evolution, not a revolution.

Its just that, when the orchestra look at me, I want them to see a completely involved person who reflects what we rehearsed, and whose function is to make it possible for them to do it.

Everybody blames the culture without taking responsibility.
