I don't like literal spaces, I don't like literal anything. I still like some kind of guess work but some pieces work and they just pop.
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
Cause POP POP POP it goes my rubber band. So STOP STOP STOP sniffin that contraband.
Now in the States if you look at the TV, you see the advertisements, the TV programmes, the pop videos, and the movies, they're all the same style. I think it's very condescending to the audience to assume they only have a three second attention span and so they don't leave anything on the screen for any longer. I don't understand that.
Only thanks to Pop Art, my painting has become understandable.
Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.
It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector, and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.
I learned jazz; that comes from blues. I learned rock; that comes from blues. I learned pop; that comes from blues. Even dance, that comes from blues, with the answer-and-response.
I listen to a mixture of old jazz, contemporary, pop, some world beat stuff and various odds and ends.
The first music I bought when I was nine or 10 was pop music from the '50s and '60s, like The Everly Bros. , Elvis, Del Shannon, The Flamingos, The Platters, whatever I could get my hands on. And then some musical things, like Camelot, Singing in the Rain and Hair.
Pop guns! And bicycles! Roller skates! Drums! Checkerboards! Tricycles! Popcorn! And plums! And he stuffed them in bags. Then the Grinch, very nimbly, Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimbley!
Games is like hardwired plumbing in the house of pop. It's not pop itself, its sort of like the behind-the-scenes arteries and capillaries of pop music.
It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I'd been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.
Everybody uses pop culture as a shorthand.
I love pop culture. I love gossiping about all the different stars.
I had an indie pop phase, I had just about every phase you could think of.
I was a black singer with a white voice, a perfect pop voice.
The animated bug has bitten pop culture. It makes me feel happy and free. When you don't act seriously, you can make up your own rules.
Not wanting anyone to pop my bubble by speaking to me, I immediately began reading Lesbian Nuns, and that did the trick. No one attempted small talk.
God bless pop music and God bless MTV.
