I don't like country-and-western
I don't like rock music
I don..'t like, I don..'t like rockabilly or rock 'n' roll particularly
Don't like much really, do I?
But what I do like I love passionately.
Music

About me: It's a very bleak film
"What does bleak mean?" she shoots back, suddenly interested. "I'm still learning English, you see..."
Q thinks for a minute before opting to define the word in the context of the film. The thing is, what Dancer In The Dark says about humanity is that we're really beyond redemption.
"What does redemption mean?"
In the end, we'll be proved good. Whereas what happens to Selma proves that we're ultimately at the mercy of very bad people.
"Yeah. Yeah. [Brightening] But she gets the tunes, doesn't she? They don't..." Taken from a 2001 interview with Björk.
