You Only Live Once, So I Try

I Don't Want To Portray Myself As A Daredevil. I'm Not At All.

Social Media Puts Us Inside Our Phones And Our Computers And Our Headphones, And We're Not Connecting So Much With Our Outside Environment. Even When People Go To The Grand Canyon They're More Concerned About The Selfies Than Actually Looking At The Canyon. I See It With My Own Kids - The Addiction To Needing Things Fast, Never Pausing To Just See What's Around Us And Connect With Our Fellow Human Beings In Real Time.

I Never Had Any Real Expectations About What Sort Of Success I Would Have Or All The Publicity.

At A Music Hall, I'll Get Upset If Someone Coughs Or If Someone's Cellphone Goes Off.

I Think If There's Ever Been A Time We Need Music More, It's Now. For Our Kids, It Teaches You To Take Time, To Listen, To Work Together, To Listen To Other People, And To Use Your Brain. That's Why Classical Music Doesn't Work When You Throw It At People In A Subway Platform While They're Rushing To Work. Classical Music Is Something That Needs To Be Contemplated, You Have To Be Completely Present With An Active Mind That's Working. It's Not Background Music.
