"I believe that, over the centuries, smart people had incredibly valuable perceptions. But I don't live in the past. People stereotype me as a fogey. I am not. I go to hip-hop concerts.""Pardon?""I listen to Kendrick Lamar. I was at a Nas concert not long ago."
"Pardon?"
"I listen to Kendrick Lamar. I was at a Nas concert not long ago."

Though this is the unassailably best quote imo:
"I had metaphorical moral headphones on. People didn't associate me with an intimate life. Now, when people have a trauma, they talk to me."
Meanwhile the interviewer is needling him the whole time.

CM: So I read somewhere that you listen to rap music. Who are you listening to now?DB: [Laughs] It’s true. I was at a Nas concert! I can barely stomach Tyler the Creator, who gets a little raw for me. I come into contact with them through my kids, so they’re my avenue into the world.
