Let me explain what I do here. I don't want to confuse you any more than absolutely necessary.

It is not as difficult as I thought it was, but it is harder than it is.

I can conduct better than I count.

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.

I don't mean to make you nervous, but unfortunately I have to.

I'm one of the boys, no better than the last second violinist. I'm just the lucky one to be standing in the center, telling them how to play.
