Somehow, Conductor As This Superhuman Conduit Between

I Think Truth As An Idea Should Be Left To The Philosophers And Perhaps Religious Leaders And Politicians, And Professional People Who Deal With That Idea.

It Would Be Very Tempting To Say That Why Paint Because We Have Michelangelo, We Have Leonardo [da Vinci], We Have All These Guys. Why Waste Your Time, Because Most Likely You're Not Going To Be On That Level Anyway.

We're Not Talking About An Elite Art Form From The Price Point Of View. We Have A Building In L.a. That Is Incredibly Open, Exciting, Inviting, And All That, And There's No Reason For This Music Not To Be Part Of Everybody's Everyday Life.

Our Industry [classic Music] Has Kind Of Retarded Into This Kind Of Endless Cover-producing Thing, And It's A Pity.

There Will Have To Be Times When I'm Not Conducting Because I'm Composing. I Haven't Solved That Problem, And Perhaps I Never Will.
