"In Europe, there is so much tradition, and everyone has established ideas as to what art should be and what it has always been."
Art
"The underlying process in Northern music tends to be slower and continuous, whatever's happening on the surface; in Southern music the underlying process is always faster."
Music
"Music has just as much to do with movement and body as it does soul and intellect."
Music
"This conducting thing happened. In 1983 I was sucked into this international career, which was a very scary experience."
Experience
"The Northern idea of form is more of a process. The various units of the form overlap. You can't tell where some things stop and new things start. This is typical of Sibelius."
Idea
"I'm still disturbed if a chord isn't together, but your priorities change as you get older."
Change
"My music wouldn't sound the way it does if I hadn't had the experience of conducting."
Experience
"The players never think they project enough. In a hall that seats 3,300 people, it's a very scary thing to play so quietly that you can barely hear yourself."
People
"The sound was my greatest concern. There were certain difficulties getting used to the way every musician can hear his or herself, the way each of them relates to the musician in the next seat."
Concern
"As we watch TV or films, there are no organic transitions, only edits. The idea of A becoming B, rather than A jumping to B, has become foreign."
Idea

"You can not hope to arrive at harmony in your life while stirring up disturbances in anothers..."

"When the world is at peace, when all things are tranquil and all men obey their superiors in all their courses, then music can be perfected. When desires and passions do not turn into wrongful paths, music can be perfected. Perfect music has its cause. It arises from equilibrium. Equilibrium arises from righteousness, and righteousness arises from the meaning of the cosmos. Therefore one can speak about music only with a man who has perceived the meaning of the cosmos."

"Religious unity and religious tolerance are not the same thing. Unity doesn't come merely through tolerance. You don't need to tolerate people from other religions. It is time you start loving them. Toleration may make you a decent person, but it is love that makes you a true human being."
