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.

The fun of being in the pop world is you can really play with people's perceptions of what the word pop means.

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

Pop music can absorb so many peculiar talents, ranging from the completely nonmusical poseur who just uses music as a kind of springboard for a sense of style, to people who just love putting all that complicated stuff together, brick by brick, on their computers, to people like me who like playing conceptual games and being surprised.

I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.

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

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.

I am totally unapologetic about pop music.

Pop is the most competitive form of music there is. You are always fighting to be adopted and accepted by the masses, and it's always shifting.
