When I started working on electronic music, that was after the rave period. I haven't even seen that part of it that much.
Napster was a black market for music. Ninety-nine per cent of the music that people were downloading was illegal because they didn't have the rights for it.
It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.
I think that people will always want music; I think that the form that they will get it in, or distributed to them from, and the price they pay for it is what's up in question.
Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.
In the 1950s, we had all these B-grade science-fiction movies. The point was to scare the public and get them to buy popcorn. No attempt was made to create movies that were somewhat inherent to the truth.
There is evil prowling in the world - it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds.
[Screaming out to Mr. Memory at the Music Hall] Richard Hannay: What are The 39 Steps?

In truth, I became a conductor because deep down I wanted to conduct Brahms's four symphonies and Richard Strauss's tone poems.
There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls.
In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.
Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn't be done.
It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.
In many cases, water stress is more about politics, economics, behaviour and governance than absolute water scarcity. Better planning is needed, to allocate water where societal need is greatest, and to allow trade-offs between alternative uses.
Macroeconomic policy can never be devoid of politics: it involves fundamental trade-offs and affects different groups differently.
No one wants to die, and no one wants to die poor. These are the two fundamental truths that transcend culture, they transcend politics, they transcend economic cycles.
Well, the post office is probably not the place you want to go if you want to be infused with patriotism and a renewed sense of vigor.
I am very proud of my name. My full name is Richard Treat Williams.
