People perceive opera and classical as elitist - I disagree. I've always tried to mix the two, make it more accessible.
I started going to Madame Louise's, the lesbian club where all the punk bands used to go - the Sex Pistols, the Clash. I remember seeing Billy Idol walk in there; he was gorgeous.
There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me.
