The kids out there want something they can relate to, something that's real; most of that whiny stuff isn't real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death.
Jonathan Davis

The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
Richard Branson

The music we made then was so amateurish, compared to the rest of mainstream pop or rock and roll. But what differentiated us from what everybody else was doing in the business was the fact that you could tell that these people came from different reference areas.
Kevin Ayers

The novel is always pop art, and the novel is always dying. That's the only way it stays alive. It does really die. I've been thinking about that a lot.
Leslie Fiedler

The only thing that exists to me is commercial pop music.
Barry Gibb

The period right before punk rock where people like Lou Reed and Iggy Pop were really strong.
Arto Lindsay

The public, hearing pop music, is, without knowing it, also soaking up jazz.
Norman Granz

The recording industry has changed; they're enjoying such incredible success in the pop field.
Gerry Mulligan

The structural thinking I use in the concert hall is unnecessary to most film projects, and most film composers make better use of the enormous range of pop and other materials and techniques required of them than I probably would, faced with the same challenge.
John Corigliano

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.
Kevin Smith

Then I went through a whole bunch of crap with my lousy movies and pop records. I had people behind me kind of steering me in that direction, but it wasn't really my bag.
Pia Zadora

There are also always those burnt, hard kernels at the bottom that don't pop. You know why they don't pop? They don't pop because they have integrity.
Marc Maron

There are times in show business when you work so much you think you will pop your cork, and then suddenly you can't find any work.
Martha Reeves

There should be a place and the space for all pop.
Malcolm Wilson

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.
Gabriela Sabatini

There's also a subplot about a guy who manages pop groups. Dave is a very ambitious boy, and he gets offered an audition but only wants to do it on his terms and conditions. He wants to maintain his integrity.
Neil Tennant

There's one site where you can buy pictures of me for five bucks a pop.
Nicholas Lea

These were all middle-class kids from literary backgrounds, joining this sort of train going by, this pop train, jumping on. Whereas the rest of the rock scene, you'll find that there's mostly working-class people.
Kevin Ayers

'Time after Time' is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It's an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.
Sarah McLachlan

We always have a take that's 'one for fun', so once you've got what you need, you can do what you like. Something does occasionally pop out of that tree. I'm always open to ideas.
Guy Ritchie
