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

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 are like ignorant shepherds living on a site where great civilizations once flourished. The shepherds play with the fragments that pop up to the surface, having no notion of the beautiful structures of which they were once a part.
Allan Bloom

We didn't gel with Poison and the Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the best of the pop metal bands, but we never fit in with the hair metal stuff. We were never as hip as the Chili Peppers. We were in the middle.
Gary Cherone

We lived, ate, and breathed pop songs.
Barry Mann

We thought it would be great to see if you could put pop music back into musical theater.
Neil Tennant

We were too rough at the edges to be a pop group.
Roger Daltrey

We're a pop art band. Not a pop band.
Chris Stein

We're not like pop musicians who have to perform the same top ten tunes every night of a tour.
Oscar Peterson

What we learned quite early on is what was really important to early British pop that we produced-and this is where we were distinct from almost everybody else in this respect-is that it had to reflect exactly what the audience wanted us to say.
Pete Townshend

When I am seriously composing, sometimes a phrase will come into my head, a catch phrase. When I was writing pop songs for a few years, as a career, separate from my folksinging career, I used to write songs for pop singers.
Tom Glazer

When I sang that song, I felt it was almost as if some force had moved into my body. Things like that have only happened to me singing jazz. It doesn't happen when singing pop. I get so deeply into the music, it feels like I've become someone else.
Rita Coolidge
