Avril Lavigne sold a massive amount of albums and she has to top that with her next release. We have four great albums behind us, and it's not going to be as hard to live up to that.

There are many examples of great songs that become more famous when they are covered.

I am totally unapologetic about pop music.

I'm definitely a pop artist at heart.

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

I think people who just know me from my band think I don't like pop music. The truth is I love pop music.

I love pop music, but I feel like the genre is overpopulated - there was so much bubblegum for a while, but I feel like Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran are bringing good, real music back to the radio.

I don't really have a favorite pop artist - I just listen to some pop songs here and there. Mostly, though, it's Beyonce and show tunes.

I don't listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway.

People assume that a lot of pop artists don't write their songs. That, for me, is super frustrating because I think it detracts from some of the art and some of the craft of what we do. I'm at the helm of it, and I think that is what people don't see.
