There's no crusade here, but I am trying to slip classical music in through the back door, ... I think people can talk about classical composers in the same breath as contemporary music. All music is good music.

I stand behind that record totally, and I always want Madonna to do well, ... but the Mount Everest of ambition for me would be to have a William Orbit record top the charts. If I got an album with my name on it to No. 1 on the Billboard album charts, I would be smoking a cigar.

I had done remixes for her for some time.
