My mom still lives in Denver and some of my brothers are still in the area, so I still have strong ties there.
Music - opera particularly - is a process which is endurable or successful only if it is achieved by people who love to collaborate.
I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.
