I grew up in an era where an orchestra was like a treasure chest.

Employee fathers need to step up to the plate and put their family needs on the table.

A lot of people get impatient with the pace of change.

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

I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the right moment

And so, little by little, I gradually divested myself of pretty nearly all of the guest conducting I used to do, because I was at the same time working in the places like the Met, where I could work in this sort of depth.
