I really want my music to go mainstream.

I don't know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted.

The music I listened to as a kid - the Stones, the Beatles - that was so rebellious at the time, it became mainstream.

My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio.

I'm mainstream, and I have pretty chart-tastic tastes. I don't often veer away from a big melodic song with big words for big stadiums.

What I've become good at is bringing things that aren't necessarily mainstream to the mainstream.

Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public.

I grew up singing ballads, but what I really wanted to get into was the mainstream music on the radio because I really love the beats and everything.

Mainstream to me equals boring, so I don't want to be doing that.

I've always kind of been a little skeptical about bands that won't play their hits. That's really arrogant to me as a music fan. I do want to hear obscure songs, but like most people, I want to hear the hits, so we always play them.
