I don't think there is much American music.

There's more good music being made now than ever before.

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

Maybe some people have written us off, but I think the new music today has also invigorated us.

We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands.

For instance, I'm always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before.

I do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing.

Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.

Any good music must be an innovation.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
