Music is a Superb Democracy

"I think the nature of music is such that it's a singular experience...It's you and the band, or it's you and the orchestra, and I think that's a superb democratic process...So you have this wonderful, powerful element that comes into your life called music, which can elevate you, and you're on your own...It's just you making your own decision...And I think that's the true definition of what democracy means."
