It was not a secret, then or now, that there is something vaguely un-American about forcing your child to be really good at classical music performance.
I was able to turn to classical music many people, who saw my programs live and on YouTube, and this is one of the nicest achievements I can have.
I became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out.
I do like classical music, and soft rock, and jazz, which I never listened to when I was 15. Now I like it. The older you get, the more tolerant you get, right?
It's not that people don't like classical music. It's that they don't have the chance to understand and to experience it.
I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.
We were very rich culturally. One Sunday each month, we would do this thing called Chamber Pots at somebody's house. A classical music group would come over and we'd have dinner. There were thirty people - parents and kids - and we'd sit on the floor and listen to this beautiful music.
My roots are in classical music and jazz, and I want the freedom of being able to improvise. This freedom is possible only in a live concert.
You're now getting a new breed of people like Il Divo and Andrea Bocelli and I think that's why people feel less intimidated by classical music than they once did.
