I am not a music snob. If anything, my musical taste is bad by any critical standards.

I think, in music, you're always hoping that you'll have a like-minded audience and that the music you like making will appeal to them, too.

I'm a bit suspicious of people who are narrow in their musical tastes.

I only write music for myself, I don't try and appeal to anyone else.

I don't just come from a musical family, but from a musical community.

It's almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - I'm a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.

Yeah, I've always considered myself a musical person.
