  1. “Um oh I think we had a conductor once who said he was ill and couldn't go on. This was just literally before the performance and was lying down in the dressing room at the barbican, and the leader of the orchestra with great alacrity came into the room and said Well, that's okay, I'll start the concert off for you, Maestro, and when you're ready come and join us and he jumped up and said, no, I'm feeling better now. I'll be able to go on. It's all a matter of dealing with the situation when it comes up. Nothing should ever phase you.”

  2. “You show enthusiasm. You're there for them when you need to be there for them. I keep a reasonably high profile at my event so that people know I'm interested and care. And I think that goes a long way.”

  3. “Well, I've always found with artists if you treat them with respect. Generally speaking, you get the best out of them, and I don't think we should forget that we're asking people to go out and perform before huge audiences. It's very nerve wracking for them, so you've got to have some consideration for what's going on inside their minds and let them get on with it. So I think that's always been the way I've approached this.”

  4. “Basically, people want to go out to be entertained to, in my case with my sort of events, to hear music that they know and love, and that's what I hope I give them.”

  5. “I've always believed in putting on what people want to hear, what they want to go and see, and things that I kind of like, things that I know myself, so that's been the way I followed things from the word go, and it's always seemed to work.”
