In the end it doesn't matter what you do.
I'm not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I've never had that attitude to music.
I'm not an architectural composer.

It's the irrational things that interest me.
People say my music is English. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's not me writing English music, but that English music is becoming more like me.
