Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time.

I have often said to the orchestra, especially to the younger players, 'Do your best, and love what you are doing, because you are allowed to do this thing.'

I think you should live your moral values. But the last thing, the very last thing that government should do is have laws that would punish women who make reproductive choices.
