Laurie Anderson : I've been put into all different kinds of categories: New Music, Avant-Garde, Pop, whatever happens to be convenient for the person who is writing the category. I of course don't think 'I'm going to sit down and write a very experimental avant-garde thing, now I'm going to write a Pop thing.' Of course it isn't like that, it comes from really more the kind of story I want to tell, because lyrics are very important to me. And another kind of music of course is something I think of as almost a punctuation for language, it almost is not music: it is some kind of beat or fluffy atmosphere.
