“I'm very proud of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.” — Andris Nelsons Quote

“I'm very proud of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.”

“I'm sure the atmosphere at Tanglewood and the space there and nature - I think it absolutely fits Wagner's music.”

“I believe we have a physical body and a soul. It doesn't matter what religion you are, whether or not you believe in God. I think people believe that there is a soul and a body.”

“I love Boston, and Boston loves me.”

“I had a good career in Chicago. When I got to Boston, my first year was really good too. My second season was decent but I ran into some shoulder issues. We ended up winning a World Series, so I'd even call that a relatively good season with a little hiccup. Then, 2019 was an absolute disaster.”

“I had to get out of the Boston area, so I flipped a coin and said, 'Heads - Miami, tails - California. I was in my mid-20s and came out here with no training. Acting wasn't even in my mind.”
