“I love playing jazz because I love the freedom you have to improvise. ...” — Julian Bream Quote

“I love playing jazz because I love the freedom you have to improvise. It has given me a feeling in my classical repertoire of creating the atmosphere of the here and now.”

“You have to get the attention of the audience. You have to make sure they know you are starting. You have to achieve a rapport with them on the very first chord.”

“I like to play the lute full-bloodedly, with passion, as well as with delicacy and, I hope, refinement.”

“It can take a long time for some people to find out how to ground themselves, and film sets are an odd atmosphere to do it in - especially if, like me, you finished school early.”

“What's fascinating about doing comedy about the referendum is, because it is the first time, it is the most extraordinary atmosphere. You find that if you are making jokes about politicians, it becomes intensely political.”

“The Patriots are known for winning and all that, so coming to a team like this, the atmosphere is just awesome around here.”
