I have a big problem with conductors who gesture a lot.

Be kind to the living.

Everybody is always going to have haters. It comes with the job. You have to have a tough skin and not let it affect you.

I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I'm stunning. But I've gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I've put on, the more success I've had.
