I feel that music is the art which can best express the emotions which flow within us. It conveys something bigger than it is. - Andrew Sega

The problem these days is again just the sheer amount of music available, and that music isn't as important an experience in people's lives in the 21st century as it was previously.

I think [Britney Spears] is a perfect example of an artificial construct -- someone with a decent voice and a very marketable image, that producers and business people turned into a pop star. Unfortunately, I think it took a toll on her, mentally, and I feel bad for the trouble that success has brought onto her. However, her music is pretty disposable, and she doesn't have the intelligence and cultural impact of someone like, say, Madonna.

I think as a musician you really have to have a wide variety of tastes, or else you will unconsciously get into a rut.
