There's a constantly applicable nature to soul music, whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
I don't want to be a pop star. I want to be a nursery-rhyme star!
There are pop managers, and then there's Simon Cowell, who isn't gay, Jewish or particularly riveting. He's not without interest but he doesn't exactly have the hinterland of, say, Brian Epstein.
So I take a little sleeping pill, pop it and realize nothing's happening - but something else was happening.
I've always wanted my work to be more available. I had this vision when I was younger of wanting to replace all of the bad jewelry in mom and pop jewelry stores with good designs. [I wanted to offer] a range of crazy, experimental one-of-a-kind pieces that would have integrity and be made of great construction as well as interesting engineering.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.
I'm living in L. A. , which is hard to get around. I live way out in the suburbs, it's hard for me to get to town. You get five minutes here, then you gotta drive a half hour to the next one. New York was so much easier for standup because you could hit five clubs in a night. Just jump in a cab, pop. Boom, boom, boom. And you could walk to some of 'em, and work out stuff on the way. You can really get some more traction out there. You could work new material easier out there, I thought.
I sing songs from the theater and pop songs. When I say 'pop songs,' I mean from the 90's. And I tell jokes. So it's sort of a stand up show meets a concert - not your traditional lounging across a piano cabaret show. It's much looser.
I would put Flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking.
I'm a sucker for sad disco pop.
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.
If I don't terrorize, I'm not Pop.
Disco is just pop music you can dance to.
When you look at bands like Take That, who have come back bigger than ever, you can see there will always be a market for good pop bands.
I'm really attracted to music that sort of toes that line between pop and avant-garde, that pushes the envelope of what you can get in a pop song.
Awards are great, but they're not who you are, and pop culture isn't who you are.
If you're tempted to believe with Governor Cuomo that government is just like Mom and Pop rather than Big Brother, just ask yourself one question: When was the last time all the IRS wanted from you was a hug and a kiss.
Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything.
What better job is there for a 17-year-old girl than being in a pop group?
