The son replied, 'for him there can be no such thing. Whatever he happens to be doing at the moment is the biggest thing in his life - whether it is conducting a symphony or peeling an orange.'"

PS: Arturo Toscanini was considered by many critics, fellow musicians, and much of the classical listening audience to have been the greatest conductor of his era. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Toscanini
