I have a huge record and cd collection of all kinds of great classical, jazz and all music but I find the internet very accessible and quick.

I hope that books don't go the way of albums and CD, large format albums, and physical product.

Nearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they're made. So, for example, scientists didn't go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we're still finding things for a laser to do.

I did The Frank Skinner Show, and they gave me a little jukebox-shaped CD player, which looks nice in the kitchen.

As music migrates into our iPods, CD collections require less and less room, residing in our heads rather than resounding off the walls. The protracted labor of amassing a personal music library has lost its detective zeal.

If you want to put out a million CDs and sell them and get them played on the radio, and even videos, or whatever, if that still exists, that kind of muscle can only come from a label like Columbia.

Today, if you were to look at my CD collection, it might scare some people.

Every time we buy a CD or download a song, the artist is paid for their work. You might not know that this isn't the case when a musician's work is played on the radio.

I did extensive, extensive recordings and made a classical CD-ROM set, which is still on the market. For ten years, it was by itself as the cream of the crop of samples.

I'm not going to put out a Christmas CD until it's coming out of me naturally.
