"Sounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes."

"The sound has grown and sweetened over the years as well, and you can hear it on many of my recordings and, most likely, will see and hear me playing it if you come to a live show."

"I know when I started I would have been happy to sound like the Beatles or Joe Tex or whoever. You want to sound like most bands, you want to sound like their records and that's how you learn your chops."

"This conducting thing happened. In 1983 I was sucked into this international career, which was a very scary experience."
Experience
"My music wouldn't sound the way it does if I hadn't had the experience of conducting."
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
"Pulse as an active means of expression, Stravinsky and Beethoven are the two masters of that."
Expression
"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
"I can't imagine how many first performances I've done, perhaps 500. Some of them have been very good, and some of course very bad."
First
"There is more openness in LA to possibilities than on the East Coast of America. There is a pioneering spirit there that stems from the reason people went out there in the first place-to find something new."
People
"I'm still disturbed if a chord isn't together, but your priorities change as you get older."

Sound
"When we're at the end of The Rite of Spring or of a Bruckner symphony, I want people to feel the music physically."
