Growing up in Hollywood, like I did, I have a passion and a love for the movies, so I go to the cinema all the time.

I am usually cooking at least four times a week if I am home. The easiest thing that I do a lot is gazpacho. It's simple and it tastes best if you let it sit over night in the refrigerator... I don't want anybody near me when I am cooking. If I am going to make a mistake, it has to be my fault.

From Leonard Slatkin

To my mind and ear, there is simply nothing that compares to the musical sophistication of a late Beethoven, Bartok, Schubert or Brahms work for minimal forces.

From Leonard Slatkin

There's not an orchestra in the world that doesn't have weaknesses. None of us can play everything well. The repertoire is just too big.

From Leonard Slatkin

I'm beginning to see that just knowing the piece is not enough. Having a clear technique is not enough. Having a broad repertory is not enough. I want desperately to get past all those things.

From Leonard Slatkin

I have been long associated with British music. I have favoured it as my alternate music next to American.
