Famous quotes by James Levine:

"We do not seem to be finding tomorrow's Toscas."

"[And when Levine explains his approach, it is not just a theory. He has been called one of the world's great orchestra builders during his time at the Met.] So much has to do with what they do instinctively, what they do perfectly without having to rehearse it, how they interact with colleagues, ... whether what they give keeps getting bigger and bigger in the orchestra or whether they shrink somehow."

"My 40th year will be '10-11 and we will have another two years to go to complete the new Ring, and I committed to Peter that I would stay that long in any case."

"I'd rather they come an hour before and read the program notes, so that they have some slight introduction to what they're going to hear. Then I recommend the most important thing of all. Listen, don't fight."

"I find it always sad when there's something that means a lot to me in music and there are people who can't get the exposure to it ever to understand it, let alone love it."

"Art has never been a popularity contest."

"Birgit was unique! Her voice, her artistry, her sense of humor and her friendship were in a class of their own. I was so fortunate to hear her sing many times over the years, and eventually to work with her on several memorable occasions with Wagner and Strauss."

"I very rarely have clients who want posed group shots before the wedding. They'd rather I capture the quiet moments -- a stolen kiss between the bride and groom before they enter their reception as a married couple."

"People are turning away from the more formal, traditionally posed wedding photos to a more intimate and natural approach,"

"All you have to do is ask any child, frankly. You don't have to ask a child development researcher if fathers make a difference. All kids will tell you that the presence of a father makes a big difference."

"Where my tastes in music are concerned, I'm a real maximalist."

"So, the total number of hours spent on the stuff you have to do to take care of a family, working and caring for stuff at home, the total number of hours is actually about the same for mothers and fathers."

"You try on purpose to get players with different qualities which will rub off on one another."

"And so, little by little, I gradually divested myself of pretty nearly all of the guest conducting I used to do, because I was at the same time working in the places like the Met, where I could work in this sort of depth."

"It wasn't that I ever knew I'd be at the Met for 20 years, or 30 years, or 40 years, or anything like that."

"At my age, you are naturally inclined towards teaching."

"I thought I'd write one book and the world would change overnight."

"I think this orchestra's strengths involve drama and voice."

"We're in the midst of an evolution, not a revolution."

"What's interesting is that both men and women are struggling with this issue in remarkably similar percentages, but the big difference is that women tend to talk about this when men keep it silent."
