A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that.

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.
