I spend shockingly little time thinking about real-world stuff.

Outside of interviews, I spend very little time thinking about myself. I spend time thinking about my writing and my children and other things that are pertinent.

Like anything important, anything you need people to hear - you've got to have music for it. You've got to make it at least a little piece of a song or sometimes a whole song.

I actually spend very little time listening to any new music.

I think conductors do spend too little time with their orchestras.

When I was a kid, to me, the Evergreen Players were the big time.
