I try to not go, 'I'm writing a pop song.' Music is inherently genre-bending.

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 love pop music, but at the same time, I'm seeking to write whatever I'm organically inclined to.

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

I used to be afraid to use the word 'pop' to describe my music, but underneath my tough, bad-girl sound, there's some fun.

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.

Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.

Pop music provides not just the soundtrack to our lives, as the cliche goes; it releases our emotions and helps us to articulate them. This is why music is so important to adolescents, who are struggling with questions of identity and self-expression.

Being a pop artist or making music like a jingle or something - I don't do that.

I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song.
