More From Esa-Pekka Salonen

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
Dream Pain Real
When you go apartment-hunting in the south, you encounter little old ladies who ask you if you use strong drink. in new york you encounter paranoids who wonder if you will commit suicide--not that they care; what they worry about is blood on their fresh paint, a dubious smell in the hallway, or a hole in the awning as you pass through on your way to the sidewalk. the southerner who moves to any part of the country has problems, but the culture shock that attacks the southerner who moves north is almost indescribable.

In fact, most of the time, people with similar information, similar beliefs and similar apparent choices will choose similar actions. so if you want to know why someone does what they do, start with what they know, what they believe and where they came from. dismissing actions we don't admire merely because we don't care enough to have empathy is rarely going to help us make the change we seek. it doesn't help us understand, and it creates a gulf that drives us apart.

In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians, discovered they lived in america, discovered they were naked, discovered that the sin existed, discovered they owed allegiance to a king and kingdom from another world and a god from another sky, and that this god had invented the guilty and the dress, and had sent to be burnt alive who worships the sun the moon the earth and the rain that wets it.

Every southerner, i think, knows people like bill clinton, maybe not quite as smart and maybe not quite as liberal, but kind of a glad-handing, country-club yuppie southerner. the problem is we don't have labels for middle-class southerners.

There are more similarities than differences when it comes to preparation of a performance. you're using some lyrics, you have a relationship with them, they apply to different parts of your life and different circumstances, different memories, different stories you have in your head. you form personal relationships with the song. i think that's very similar, in a way, to prepping a character. you pour your own personality, in a sense, into the character, you sympathize with a character in a way that's similar to the way you might sympathize with a song.

I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. at the moment, i am not. but wouldn't that be cool if i was like, 'yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' i would adore that. i am so far not gifted in that way. but i am a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows?
