I love Eminem, I love Moby. Why can't we just be friends?.

Because I loved myself, I was loved..

Women like being kissed..

What you create for you, no one can take from you..

I'm structured with time..

In truth, I became a conductor because deep down I wanted to conduct Brahmss four symphonies and Richard Strausss tone poems..

I'm too old to be forced..

I didn't have a life until I went up onstage..

Life's all about 'me' anyway.

I am not stroppy at all..

I'll tell you about it because I am here and you are distant..

Every couple weeks I'll listen to Sibelius's Seventh Symphony, just to check in, to see how it's doing. It's doing OK..

In South America, I heard the 8th Symphony of Beethoven. And the young conductor thought, Beethoven must be heroic. But this is piece which shouldn't….

I follow the rules until I go against them all..

Music has always been in me..

The less inhibited you are the better..

That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially..

It's good for you to go somewhere that you wouldn't normally go..

You are someone and you have a right to your life..

I really fell in love with Africa..

Ain't nobody messin' with you but you.
