“Branding music as 'for the youth' is only an escapist tendency. Preference in music is only about restrictions of the mind.”

“Music reigns supreme. It does not need a visual prop. While listening to a number, do you enjoy the tune, or do you enjoy it because you imagine someone singing it? In fact, quite a few hits of mine are from films that no one has heard about. The songs still rule, though.”

“A good mind should tell the difference between noise and music.”

“Sometimes readers want some escapist fun, to get lost in the story. But light-hearted romantic stories can and should star all kinds of girls.”

“I do realize that I am a popular writer who people buy to take on vacation. I'm an escapist kind of writer.”

“When I was a teenager I was a total romantic escapist. My world was books.”
