Originál: (en) My grandfather used to take me for walks in the mountains and he didn't say very much. I learned from him to listen to silence. And for me, listening is the most important thing: to listen to each other, to listen to what people say, to listen to music.

Originál: (en) The most important thing is to listen to each other. Many people learn how to talk, but they don't learn how to listen. Listening to one another is an important thing in life. And music tells us how to do that.

Originál: (en) Simon, my illness was terrible, but the results have not been all bad: I feel that somehow I hear from the inside of my body, as if the loss of my stomach gave me internal ears. I cannot express how wonderful that feels. And I still feel that music saved my life in that time!

„Kultura překonává sociální nerovnost. Kultura nás osvobozuje od chudoby.“
Originál: (en) Culture overcomes social inequities. Culture frees us from poverty.
Originál: (en) In life every man has to take a position. When people say, ‘Oh, he is a musician, why should he talk about politics?’ this is stupid. I did a concert against fascism in Italy at La Scala. It was at the time of the election, and the fascists were very strong. In Italy, the opposition to fascism is communism, but it is not like it is in America. I myself, however, belong to no party. I voted for the Communists simply because they were the opposition to the fascists. But I disagree with both Italian and Russian communism on many things. My line is very clear. I am for freedom. Everything that is not for freedom I protest.

Originál: (it) La cultura è un bene comune e primario, come l'acqua: i teatri, le biblioteche, i musei, i cinema sono come tanti acquedotti.
