There's A Part Of Me That's Always

I Have Yet To Find Something That Beats The Power Of Being In Love, Or The Power Of Music At Its Most Magical.

One Is That You Have To Take Time, Lots Of Time, To Let An Idea Grow From Within. The Second Is That When You Sign On To Something, There Will Be Issues Of Trust, Deep Trust, The Way The Members Of A String Quartet Have To Trust One Another.

I Learn Something Not Because I Have To, But Because I Really Want To. That's The Same View I Have For Performing. I'm Performing Because I Really Want To, Not Because I Have To Bring Bread Back Home.

The Tradition Of Classical Music And The Opera Is Such That It Used To Be The Place Where Social Intercourse Could Take Place Between All Parts Of Society: Politicians, Industrialists, Artists, Citizens, Etc. That Tradition, I Think, Still Exists, But It's Much, Much More Diluted.

Our Cultural Strength Has Always Been Derived From Our Diversity Of Understanding And Experience.
