For me, Venezuela is very important, not just because it's a place I go to conduct, but because my family is there - my wife, my parents and my musical family.

Classical music in Venezuela is now something like a pop concert. You can see people screaming or crying because they don't have a ticket.

People say that having three orchestras is a crazy life, but it's better because you have three families. I want to have my own kids very soon. In future, I still want to conduct a lot, but less, to be with my family.

I want to work with the big orchestras. I want to have a big family.

I think it's a very important collaboration between the conductor and the orchestra - especially when the conductor is one more member of the orchestra in the way that you are leading, but also respecting, feeling and building the same way for all the players to understand the music.

Just because I'm sassy and have a mouth on me doesn't mean I'm coming from a negative place.
