Perhaps the chief requirement of the conductor is that he be humble before the composer; that he never interpose himself between the music and the audience; that all his efforts, however strenuous or glamorous, be made in the service of the composer's meaning - the music itself, which, after all, is the whole reason for the conductor's existence.'
Leonard Bernstein

There's no way I would have got to see so much of the world, with my humble background, without modelling. We were penniless and hungry for most of my youth.
