Music is an art that touches the depth of human existence; an art of sounds that crosses all borders.

I can't stand going out to one more dinner with some Mrs. So-and-So who might leave a million dollars to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when she dies.

There are many wonderful orchestras in the world, but very few who have a character or personality of their own. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of them, and I think it very important to recognize and respect that character.

I get no satisfaction just showing myself in every corner of the world every week.

The thing about Wagner is we're always wrong about him, because he always embraces opposites. There are things in his operas which viewed one way are naturalistic, and viewed another way are symbolic, but the problem is you can't represent both views on stage at once.

Either you live by the barometer of the music critics, or you live by your own. I choose the latter.

I don't like possessions.

You can't expect someone born into a family with no music... to understand when I'm conducting the Schoenberg Variations.

I cannot be music director at La Scala and at Staatsoper. This would be unfair to one of the two institutions.
