Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Paul:
The classical market is a lot like the wine market. It survives by creating the illusion of meaningful diversity. There wll always be the demand for the opportunity to distinguish oneself by pretending to see a world where others see nothing.
Helen Morrison:
Sometimes there really is a world.
Paul:
Well, the fact that you perceive a difference doesn't necessarily make that difference meaningful.
Helen Morrison:
Are you calling me a snob?
Paul:
No! No! Oh, but seriously. Do we actually need another recording of the "Goldberg Variations?"
Richard:
Or another pianist maybe?
Paul:
Yeah, exactly. Sturgeon's law, 90% of everything is crap.
Richard:
That's a lot.
Paul:
Yes!
Francine:
Did you know you were managed by the enemy, Henry?
Henry Cole:
So long as he keeps getting me gigs, I'll let the philistine speak his mind.
