It was only later on that I became more interested in older music.

Very old music is, like, 11th century in my mind. That's very old.

I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment.

I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.

Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.

I don't think the music that I do is nostalgic in any way; I don't think about going back to nice, old-fashioned music. I'm certainly influenced by old music, but I want to bring it slap-bang up to today.

The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.

If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.

In the beginning, I was so inspired by the music. I had the option to make something modern with classic undertones, but I wanted to make something that was exactly like that old sound.
