"In a new memoir, the former president of the Brooklyn Academy of Music reflects on some of the organization’s most memorable stagings and artists."
– Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times
“'For a princess, coming to Brooklyn was stepping outside the comfort zone of high society at the time,' Brooks Hopkins told The Post. Her royal seal of approval 'changed everything for us, for Brooklyn.'”..."Brooks Hopkins details the moment in her new book, 'BAM... And Then It Hit Me'... which looks back at her 36 years at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Diana’s visit, she said, was an extra special memory."
– Raquel Laneri, New York Post
"We didn't have enough money to even be the second-rate (Lincoln Center), so we decided to be a first-rate BAM. And that meant finding another way artistically to reveal ourselves to our audience and to the world. So we took this path of avant-garde, experimental work, things that couldn't be seen anywhere else; only here, only now at BAM."
– Karen Brooks Hopkins, Amanpour
