I think our spirits are exceedingly important. I love the notion of congregating for the purpose of being uplifted without words.
I've only got about a 3-hour window for recording. After the two-and-a-half hour mark, you can't hear critically what you're doing anymore.
I love being in the middle of it - listening a bar ahead, helping people achieve a performance, and hopefully not getting in the way of them!
We're not puppets on a string, but the shows are, and they get dangled and placed opposite one another. It's a business. There you are.
The world moves so quickly. We need more and more the things that are true, because we embrace them and offer our spiritual credulity to them.
There are moments when you wish you had had two more rehearsals, but the architecture is there, and the playing is often more than competent.
I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.
We lament the speed of our society and the lack of depth and the nature of disposable information.
Because I don't take money, I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.
Every time I hear, Cut. Print, something cold and electrical goes off in my head, because I'm never going to change that film.
I am certainly not a mainstream religious man.
It's rare to be treated like a friend you haven't met in a Hollywood meeting.
In television you go in with this operating system that it is a crapshoot.
If it's right and true, it's listened to and accommodated.
