If money was my only motivation, I would organize myself differently.
Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public.
I feel at home in an orchestral score.
The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.
What is sad is not to be able to do today what you have done in your youth. But what is good is to remember that - when you were able - you did it to the best of your ability.
I hope I have given back half the joy music has given me.
