Quotes 

• Maya : Sorry to disturb you, Mr Cole. Could I ask you for your autograph? I was at the concert last night.

  Henry Cole : Magnificent!

  Maya : I drove all the way from Boston.

  Henry Cole : Oh, you didn't yave to drive all that way. I'll be playing in Boston a week from now.

  Maya : I know, I'm taking my son.

  Henry Cole : Ah. Well, that automatically qualifies you for an autograph. What's your name?

  Maya : Maya. But it's not for me, it's for my son. Daniel.

  Henry Cole : Uh-uh. How old is he?

  Maya : Twelve. Music is everything to him. I mean, it's all he cares about.

  Henry Cole : Tell you what, bring him backstage after the recital next week. I'll sign it for him then.

  Maya : Really? He has a poster of you in his room, you know.

  Henry Cole : A poster.

  Maya : Yeah.

  Henry Cole : I hope it doesn't give him nightmares.
