A conductor should reconcile himself to the realization that regardless of his approach or temperament the eventual result is the same-the orchestra will hate him.

I'm controversial. My friends either dislike me or hate me

Talent's like a baby. Wrap it up in wool and it goes to sleep.

I never watch the Dinah Shore show- I'm a diabetic.

I don't drink. I don't like it. It makes me feel good.

Every time I look at you I get a fierce desire to be lonesome.

I am no more humble than my talents require.
