Pop Quotes

What is uncertain is how much further the bubble can expand, and what might pop it Picture Quote #1

Student loans are destroying the imagination of youth. If there’s a way of a society committing mass suicide, what better way than to take all the youngest, most energetic, creative, joyous people in your society and saddle them with, like $50,000 of debt so they have to be slaves? There goes your music. There goes your culture. There goes everything new that would pop out. And in a way, this is what’s happened to our society. We’re a society that has lost any ability to incorporate the interesting, creative and eccentric people Picture Quote #1

Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is / I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses Picture Quote #1

Pop culture has entered into a nostalgic malaise. Online culture is dominated by trivial mashups of the culture that existed before the onset of mashups, and by fandom responding to the dwindling outposts of centralized mass media. It is a culture of reaction without action Picture Quote #1

Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven’t gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights. Rap culture is interesting and different and has purpose, but it has a nonromantic view of life and of social feelings. There may be a void in that Picture Quote #1

Eventually I would like to reach the stage where I don’t have to write about love and kisses and all that stuff. I wish I could write about really ultimate things. That’s where I think all of us want to go, really. All the groups seem to be heading towards a kind of pop music that deals with ultimate things Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be in front of the camera forever. I’m not thirsty. I’m not a pop star. I don’t want to reign over all forever. I don’t want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It’s just not me. I’m the happiest when I’m in the studio, not on a beauty parade Picture Quote #1

The most important thing to do as an artist is to get out of your comfort zone and work with different people: people who can’t read a note of music, people who have incredible classical skills, blues and jazz musicians, pop artists, visual artists, dancers and actors. Learn from people who are creative in a different way to you and you’ll keep evolving Picture Quote #1

Rock’n’roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been in a ditch so low that a run wouldn’t pop me out of it Picture Quote #1

I love pop music, but I love pop music that does something a little bit different Picture Quote #1

I remember there was actually a sexual thrill... you hear that little pop and pull their heads of and hold their heads up by the hair. Whipping their heads off, their body sitting there. That’d get me off Picture Quote #1

Talent can pop up anywhere in the world, it’s not just one city block Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to do something real different; I’m trying to bring the street to real pop. I’m trying to bring the street to pop. Not watering it down, no nothing Picture Quote #1

Making an album can be like being pregnant: you want to pop that thing out and show everybody! Picture Quote #1

I was feeling a bit down, I went to a therapist a few times, at a hundred bucks a pop. But then I realized that no therapy session would ever cheer me up half as much as if I was just strolling along and found a hundred dollar bill Picture Quote #1

As long as a man stays alive he can’t tell what chances will pop up next. But a dead man signs no checks Picture Quote #1

Actually, if I could deliberately sit down and write a pop hit, all my songs would be pop hits! Let’s put it this way. I play what I like to hear. And sometimes I like to hear something poppy, and sometimes I don’t 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 think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they’re just meant to look pretty and sing pretty Picture Quote #1

All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song Picture Quote #1

I think right now, you’ve seen these artists pop up over the last decade who’ve flirted with branching together a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them have been huge, and sold millions of records. And I think over time it’s become a little bit of what the industry can be Picture Quote #1

After pop art, graffiti is probably the biggest art movement in recent history to have such an impact on culture Picture Quote #1

Why can’t you write a great pop song when you are 85? Maybe you can Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if people feel this way, but I think by nature that when you start off as a young pop singer, they assume that you’re a bit pampered, prissy, and precious, or that you live in a bubble and not in the real world. For me that’s not the case Picture Quote #1

I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body shapes by being healthy Picture Quote #1

For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music, pop and rock. So in the past few years I’ve been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge, and if your knowledge is limited you can’t write past that Picture Quote #1

Pop music has greater power to change people and to affect people because it’s a universal language. You don’t have to understand music to understand the power of a pop song Picture Quote #1

I’ll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don’t have to be famous Picture Quote #1

Most of the time, criticism that takes pop culture seriously involves performing some kind of symbolic analysis, decoding the work to demonstrate the way it represents some other aspect of society Picture Quote #1
