I think that there's always room for humour in music. It's something that always takes itself so seriously, which I think is a bit of a shame.

I think this orchestra's strengths involve drama and voice.

I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.

Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words.

I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!

The fact is that we take music very seriously.

If everything gets too serious for me on the album, I get kinda bored. I've got to have some kind of jovial things in there.

I was always really into the music rather than the scene.

I have no doubt that there are great people about though... the thing of it is, nothing to this day moves me like classical music (Debussy, Vaughn Williams).

It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
