“I’ve been looking forward to this for several years ... and I really wanted to come and see it. It’s the color, the pageantry, the sound, the flow of music with the backgrounds. It’s a delight to the senses is what it is.”
 

“The music is incredible, the orchestra is first rate as far as what I know.”
 

“From my perspective performance art is the highest form of achievement that you can do because ... everyone’s judging it, everyone’s evaluating your performance every time you perform. It’s incredible, that’s about as high an achievement as you can have.”
 

“I’ve studied Eastern religions and that sort of thing personally because I enjoy, I actually sort of prefer Eastern philosophy, Buddhism ... but their whole world concept, their whole way of looking at life and what’s important, that’s part of why I wanted to come.”
