There's almost no popular music I listen to now. I'll hear it because it's everywhere... Music is ubiquitous now.

So don't get me wrong, I love my songs, and I still love hearing them. That's history, baby.

I just love music in general. I've been a fan of all different kinds of music since I can remember.

Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.

I turned popular music on the radio, and I never listened to it again after that, in about 1985. That's when I switched over to classical music, and I pretty much stayed with that since then.

I like music a lot.

For me, personally, the most interesting music comes from the popular sector - from film and pop music - since contemporary classical music got stuck and went into directions where it lost a lot of the public by over-intellectualizing.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.

Well, a few years ago I think I could have given you a more enthusiastic answer about that but in the last few years, for the first time in my life, I really haven't listened to much music. I used to work with music on and now I don't.
