Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

You could split hairs and bring up words like 'doo-wop' and terms like 'soul' or 'R&B', but I think pop music is what you want it to be - that's why it's pop.

The fun of being in the pop world is you can really play with people's perceptions of what the word pop means.

I love my pop music.

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.

I like the pop music, but I still want to have meaning in my music.

I was raised on pop music.

I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.

I am totally unapologetic about pop music.
