I started making music with my band in the '80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.

I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.

The classical music world is so snobbish.

I listen mostly to classical music.

In France the music schools are a bit old fashioned. I was more excited about doing my own stuff or to play with my friend in my band, than studying the piano.

Robert Kapilow is a born teacher, an enthusiast who can think on his feet, a 110 percent believer in the project at hand ... It’s a cheering thought that this kind of missionary enterprise did not pass from this earth with Leonard Bernstein. Robert Kapilow is awfully good at what he does. We need him.
