Pop Quotes

The melody seems to have gone to the country. The country music seems to still have melody and interesting lyrics. But pop music, you’ve got to really listen hard to somebody who’s doing a good melody and a good lyric Picture Quote #1

That’s the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I’m saying on the album in ‘Working class hero’. As I told Rolling Stone, it’s the same people who have the power, the class system didn’t change one little bit Picture Quote #1

I love writing pop songs and I love the challenge. I love melodies and wanted it to be classy. I wanted it to have some substance because I feel as if I have a lot of things to say and wanted it to have something to it Picture Quote #1

I love fiction. I like reading short stories. Cupcakes, pop songs, Polaroids, and short stories. They all raise and answer questions in a short space. I like Lorrie Moore. Amy Hempel. Tim O’Brien. Raymond Carver. All the heartbreakers Picture Quote #1

There’s not a lot of precedent for weird, bald musicians in the Lower East Side making records in their bedrooms and going on to sell a lot of copies of the record. Especially if you look at the pop climate Picture Quote #1

I listen to new music by composers who are interesting to me. I listen to some; I don’t know if I want to call it pop, but it’s some interesting artist that gets my attention, I listen to in the mornings Picture Quote #1

We raise awareness and drop information about access and laws into pop culture spaces through making videos and through live events. That’s like fifty percent of what we do Picture Quote #1

My guitar playing is a synthesis of traditional American acoustic style and Urban Pop and RB Picture Quote #1

My beauty tricks revolve around eyes. For the early morning shoots, I pop eye pads in the freezer the night before, and when I take them out in the morning they are already cold and active and are great under my eyes. I keep my eye pads right next to my red velvet Ben and Jerry’s in the freezer Picture Quote #1

Anyone who watches a lot of television, or listens to pop music, is familiar with a certain vision of America. If not exactly colorblind, this America is one in which different races easily interact, in which a white person might have an Asian boss, Hispanic stepson, or African-American frenemy Picture Quote #1

The industrial thing came about mainly through giving up trying to write pop songs in the early 90s. I don’t think I was ever very good at pop music and as soon as I stopped trying, and started to write more the things I loved, it became much heavier and more aggressive Picture Quote #1

And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy Picture Quote #1

I think every once in a while country has lost its way, but found its way back. It’s always going to drift away from the traditional side, but then find a way to return. There’s room for all kinds of influences be it pop, blues, gospel or whatever. But I will always say that I think we need more traditional country music coming down the pike Picture Quote #1

I think music gives so much inspiration. I listen to all kinds of music: pop, hip-hop, everything. I also love classical music Picture Quote #1

I don’t think people look at how pop stars live and feel anything aspirational at all Picture Quote #1

I love all types of music. I love top 40 dance pop, hip-hop, I don’t even know what they call it now. I’m a huge fan of all that Picture Quote #1

Almost every economist agrees that the American health care system is unsustainable. Medical care is so expensive that it is busting all of our budgets - government, business, and personal. Eventually, the medical price bubble will pop. What, then, are the alternatives? Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that’s more my personal taste Picture Quote #1

Latin music has many international influences - pop, rock, country, Brazilian sounds, and alternative styles Picture Quote #1

Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it’s alternative, but you can’t break out of pop music’s constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage Picture Quote #1

I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that Picture Quote #1

I think pop music is in such an exciting place right now, and I do kind of credit that to Lorde with ‘Royals.’ I think that song changed everything in the pop scene. All of the sudden, alternative pop music became pop music Picture Quote #1

I listen to a wide range of music, from country to pop to alternative rock, as well as Indian music. You know, what excites me are new ideas. And with a lot of the international hits - from Lady Gaga to Rihanna and others - you’d find excellent production and groundbreaking ideas that lift the music to a greater realm Picture Quote #1

I can’t tell you what genre Maroon 5 is in. I don’t know if they’re rock or pop or alternative. I don’t know what they are. I have a hard time separating that stuff. I just know what I like when I hear it Picture Quote #1

When I was young, we were quite strongly discouraged from listening to pop music. It was an uncomfortable thing, pop music; I think my parents felt threatened by it. They were always happy when they were listening to Mozart, so if your parents are happy, then you’re happy Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I write songs that just come out in a pop format because I grew up on melody and these amazing artists during the 80s. It’s my tradition and it’s something that I can’t really control Picture Quote #1

The whole American pop culture started in Philadelphia with ‘American Bandstand’ and the music that came out of that city Picture Quote #1

You’d never know it from reading the rest of the Native writers, but Indians actually grew up with American pop culture Picture Quote #1

It was weird - writing is a stupid thing to do. I come up here in the morning to a pleasant room in the roof of my house and imagine I’m a black South American football superstar; then I have to imagine I’m a female pop celebrity who’s pregnant. It’s a completely mad way to spend your time Picture Quote #1

Action roles - or any role - should go to the best guy for the job. People obsess about nationality. Hollywood and America might be the hub for pop culture and cinema for the Western world, but that shouldn’t suggest that all the roles should go to young American men Picture Quote #1
