Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.

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

Being a pop star is something I don't think I'm very good at. I'm worried it's making me too paranoid, because all of a sudden, life has become this constant assessment. When you put something out there and people get to hear it, then those people react to it, socially, culturally.

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

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

I don't follow any of what the pop world is doing. Sometimes I feel like that's a weakness, actually, that I'm too in my own bubble. But I'm really just interested in the inner journey. And pop is all about the exterior world, the material.

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

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.

I am totally unapologetic about pop music.

I'm still looking for the rules of what is and isn't pop music. I'm pop. I mean, of course I am. What isn't pop? There should be a pop amnesty where everyone reclaims it.
