Pop Quotes

Hip-hop is interesting, but American pop music doesn’t have the kind of diversity that the UK does Picture Quote #1

Jerry Robinson illustrated some of the defining images of pop culture’s greatest icons. As an artist myself, it’s impossible not to feel humbled by his body of work. Everyone who loves comics owes Jerry a debt of gratitude for the rich legacy that he leaves behind Picture Quote #1

Take an exhibit, in the days when we saw the Pop art - Andy Warhol and all that - tomato soup cans, etc., and coming home, you saw everything like A. Warhol Picture Quote #1

The only thing the Pop Artists had in common is that we all had been commercial artists in some manner. Lichtenstein was a draftsman; I was a billboard painter, but we didn’t work together. I didn’t meet Andy Warhol until 1964 Picture Quote #1

There’s a famous artist, Ron English, in New York, that just, or Andy Warhol for that matter, that did pop art that terrorized society. And that’s, for the last like 10, 15 years, that’s all I wanted to do, is terrorize society and make them look into a mirror and see what the hell we have wrought Picture Quote #1

It seems natural to surround my fictional world with animals because my reality is full of them. When I’m sitting there conceiving a story, they just pop up Picture Quote #1

Michael Jackson will always be my favorite pop musician; he was for years and years until his death, which was horrible to me. So I like pop culture. But to me, even if it’s popular, there is a quality in the music you have to be able to appreciate Picture Quote #1

With pop music and pop musicians, you know everything about everyone all the time, particularly their physical appearance. With female musicians, that’s made a big thing of, and I think people, certainly with me, have appreciated a bit of mystery Picture Quote #1

I’m not a singer, a walking instrument like Aretha Franklin. When you get an Iggy Pop record, you don’t get Iggy Sings. I am also a style of music, an approach Picture Quote #1

People like Clyde McPhatter who came out of the black churches - like Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin - were all church singers who became great pop singers because gospel singing is very close to the blues Picture Quote #1

A reporter from ‘The Times’ wanted to arm-wrestle, and as I recall, he kept challenging me. So we went at it, and there was a pop. His arm broke. Very strange. He went into a kind of swoon Picture Quote #1

If you’re in pop music, you’ve got to deal with the changing of the guard every few years. By the time the 70s arrived, I was well aware of the cyclical nature of the game. Pop music is a creature of the moment; it thrives on the mood of its time. Either you hook into that or you’re not going to be part of it Picture Quote #1

People assume that a lot of pop artists don’t write their songs. That, for me, is super frustrating because I think it detracts from some of the art and some of the craft of what we do. I’m at the helm of it, and I think that is what people don’t see Picture Quote #1

I find pop art really offensive because it’s taking a piece of popular culture and putting it somewhere where people can’t see it Picture Quote #1

We use the term pop in the art world, as in Pop Art, but we forget that its root is popular - popular culture Picture Quote #1

There’s something retro about the pop culture references in the paintings, so I’d imagine it’s not as much a pop culture reference as a pop art reference Picture Quote #1

There is still some art in pop music. But it can’t happen if you’re not inspired Picture Quote #1

Mine was not pop art. I maybe started with a subject, but I changed the subject Picture Quote #1

For me, with the Blue Man Group, I got asked. It was for the Royal Variety Show, which was something I always wanted to be a part of. I’m really interested in things people don’t necessarily expect. I did a pop song, but I did it in my own style Picture Quote #1

I’ve done a lot of movies that don’t have any music in them, and I’ve always sort of had a kind of wary attitude about music because it can be so manipulative, and also because with pop music, I feel like everybody kind of has their own relationship to songs Picture Quote #1

It’s very schizophrenic because I like a lot of very straight pop, like Small Faces, Stones, Kinks; and on the other hand, I like a lot of avant garde things Picture Quote #1

I was part of the sort of avant guard tradition of John Cage and music concrete and pushing back the boundaries of avant garde classic pop rhythms. I think everyone brings something completely different to it Picture Quote #1

Some of the most radical work is being done in the most commercially pop venues, and some of the most boring work is being done in avant-garde territory Picture Quote #1

I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock ‘n’ roll spirit, swagger to the game Picture Quote #1

As educational standards decline and pop culture disseminates the inarticulate ravings and unintelligible patois of surfers, jocks, and valley girls, we are turning into a nation of functioning illiterates [...].English itself will steadily decay unless we get back to basics and start to respect our language again Picture Quote #1

If you are a pop band, don’t say you’re a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys Picture Quote #1

During workouts, I listen to Pandora, and I like the 90s pop stations. ‘The Backstreet Boys’ is fun! Picture Quote #1

It’s cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn’t sound too bad Picture Quote #1

It seems like pop singing has sort of influenced musical theatre in so many ways - you could argue good or bad, really - and musical theatre is written for that style so often, which is a completely different style Picture Quote #1

The Toothbrush mustache was first introduced in Germany by Americans, who turned up with it at the end of the 19th century the way Americans would turn up with ducktails in the 1950s. It was a bit of modern efficiency, an answer to the ornate mustaches of Europe - pop effluvia that fell into the grip of a bad, bad man Picture Quote #1
