Notes are your friends. Treat them kindly and they repay you in joyful ways.

I get very protective when people speak ill of musicians. Musicians are the ultimate, proper human beings - hard drinking, ultimate, proper human beings! Oversexed, hard drinking, ultimate, proper human beings! Totally smashed, oversexed, hard drinking, ultimate, proper human beings!

I like nothing better than to be under the baton of a good musical director. And you can take that anyway you like.

Music is the food of love, and it works just as well the other way around. As you probably know Graham! (Norton)
