When I listen to music today, it is about 99 percent classical. I rarely even listen to folk music, the music of my own specialty, because folk music is to me more limited than classical music.
I love rock music, I love country music - I love all music, let's be honest!
There are certainly contemporaries that I admire, like Emily Blunt. I think she is amazing.
When you're the best, and you know you're the best, and your contemporaries know you're the best, that's a terrific edge.
I never do releases to try and make or break some contemporary band.
I don't like all of the contemporary country. I like some of it, but I'm mostly into the traditional style.
