I think that the Information Age is great, but there's a downside to it obviously as well, and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it.

I would never have become music director of the Chicago Symphony, which would have been an extremely sad loss.

I was sad Jon Ronson, who wrote in the Guardian and has made a TV show for Channel 4, took against me.

It's sad that women characters have lost so much ground in popular movies. Didn't 'Thelma and Louise' prove that women want to see women doing things on film? Thelma and Louise were in a classic car they were being chased by cops they shot up a truck - and women loved it.

I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad.
