I write emotional music.

Regardless of who originally made it popular, any hit song becomes a challenge to the ingenuity and imagination of other musicians and performers.

That was when the Spanish came in and conquered the Aztecs. I thought that was a clever thing.

Under my contract with Capitol, I have complete freedom to do just about anything I want in my own way.

Any good music must be an innovation.

Well, thats the secret of commerciality, a simple style and you stick with it.

I love doing concert music.
