I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.

There's a whole generation out there who don't know that I was a pop singer in the early days.

I was raised on pop music.

The only thing the Pop Artists had in common is that we all had been commercial artists in some manner. Lichtenstein was a draftsman; I was a billboard painter, but we didn't work together. I didn't meet Andy Warhol until 1964.

Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.

I wanted to have a go at a pop career. My first single, 'Baby I Don't Care', was a hit, and the second, 'Bye Bye Boy', reached the Top 20.

I'm not trying to be a pop singer.

I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.

I don't see myself as a pop star, just a singer.
