David Ogden
father simple men
My father, who died a few years ago, was a good, simple, very honest man. His faith and affection for his family was just unassailable, without question.
funny men years
Very often, I don't make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.
character thinking way
When something really extreme happens, you have to find a way to embrace that and include it in how you think about the character. Sometimes it's not easy.
years hollywood half
I had a meeting in LA in which they took a really overstuffed hour and a half. It was as close to old Hollywood as I remembered it in the last 20 years.
kids giving experience
What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give.
orchestra singers different
You hear the same work by different orchestras, different conductors, violinists, pianists, singers, and slowly, the work reveals itself and begins to live deeper in you.
running long actors
I am not a long-run actor. I admire actors who can do that.
nice hands people
People are nice enough, but you can hear the giant tick of the second hand. People are so harried.
commitment outcomes scheduling
A lot affects the outcome. It boils down to scheduling and the commitment of the network.
benefits orchestra concerts
Because I don't take money, I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.
religious men mainstream
I am certainly not a mainstream religious man.
people might ears
I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.
orchestra crafts masters
I will never master this craft. Orchestras are very, very forthcoming with me.
character important engagement
It's really important to stay engaged and involved in the character.
