There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.

Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.

I'm not interested in pop art.

You have to be respectful of pop culture, because people interpret it in the way they want.

Pop culture is great, but it can be bad, at times.

I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

I think it's always hard for people to get their head around the fact that populist, commercial films can also actually be great works of art.

After pop art, graffiti is probably the biggest art movement in recent history to have such an impact on culture.

Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that's irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.
