To look for some kind of insight or meaning in pop songs is not really - well there's plenty of other places where you should probably look first before you start looking for it in a pop song. I guess it was just because I was really into music as a child, and I wanted it to say more. It was the thing, wasn't it? And now it isn't.

The way you look for songs, you find yourself looking for little signals and clues about life and how things are.

You have to learn how to act a pop song. You have to find the balance of the pop from the pop song and the lyrical significance of the scene you are in.

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

There's a constantly applicable nature to soul music, whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.

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

Pop comes from the word 'popular,' which means that it could be anything that appeals to any group of people. When you talk about general masses, I think there's elements in every kind of music that can reach a broad audience.

Pop music thrives on repetition. You know a song's a hit when you've heard it so often that you'll be happy never to hear it again.

In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.

The part of modern pop music I don't know much about is hip hop.
