I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.
I become more seasoned, it's less interesting to try and compete in the pop market.
I've never worked with huge pop acts, I mightn't like it, but it's something I've always wanted to try.
I don't follow any of what the pop world is doing. Sometimes I feel like that's a weakness, actually, that I'm too in my own bubble. But I'm really just interested in the inner journey. And pop is all about the exterior world, the material.
Every 16-year-old person has a love for pop in them because pop is popular.
There are pop managers, and then there's Simon Cowell, who isn't gay, Jewish or particularly riveting. He's not without interest but he doesn't exactly have the hinterland of, say, Brian Epstein.
I'm definitely a pop artist at heart.
I'm not interested in pop art.
It was the business that made Pop go away, not our inability to create.
I've been lucky enough to work in pop culture, especially with people right before they popped.
