Charles Wuorinen Talks About His Brokeback Mountain Opera, Music
"I think my attitude is that I stand against a kind of pandering in the arts which I think is very destructive in the long run and has the characteristics of confusing high culture and popular culture and has the result of damaging both. Over the years I haven't deviated much from my principal. I've been criticized for not going along with the flow, but I am not going to change my fundamental values because they have become less widely held than they used to be."
