Zubin Mehta

My family and relatives alone could fill Shanmukhananda Hall in Bombay.

The 'New York Times' reviews of my work have been evenly divided - favourable and unfavourable.

Israel is a piece of real estate that neither Jew or Arab will let go of; neither will leave these shores. And so they will have to learn to live together.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

When I see something that I think isn't right, I think I have some kind of, for right or wrong, an obligation to fix it.
