Eugene Ormandy

Beauty is less important than quality.

With us tonight is William Warfield, who is with us tonight. He is a wonderful man, and so is his wife.

I'm one of the boys, no better than the last second violinist. I'm just the lucky one to be standing in the center, telling them how to play.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

For me to be here tonight, everything had to be perfect. I had to get drafted by Utah, had to play with a point guard like John Stockton, and had to be coached by Jerry Sloan and Frank Layden.

It's an ear job, not an eye job.
