I enjoy music that is commercial. I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations, you have to always consider that.

I'm not an ad-libber. If I'm asked to ad-lib, I can ad-lib forever and it's really fun to do that, but I find that well-written scripts are put together very carefully.
