I listen to all kinds of songs. There's something to be learned from every type of music and from the one making it, whether it's pop or jazz or hip-hop.
I mean, come on, Beyonce's the queen of pop music. She's the queen. If you could run for queen... I would put her name in the suggestion box. She's incredible.
You've got Corey Feldman doing his thing, and the problem is, they're trying to be pop stars. You can't compare Salty to any of the other actors out there playing music.
There's many different genres, and when you see R&B and pop and house, as well as electronic, come together, that's the reality of what music is.
I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues.
It doesn't matter the kind of music, it doesn't matter whether it's a cowboy hat or a yarmulke. I don't care if it's outer space or pop, the spirit is the same.
I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
Pop music thrives on repetition. You know a song's a hit when you've heard it so often that you'll be happy never to hear it again.

I definitely try to broaden the scope of music. I don't know if it's pop or classical or what, but I'm religiously challenging myself all the time, for better or for worse.
Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.
My pops and my mom started playing Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers and all these people, but at the same time, they always had Snoop on right behind it in the same mix.

I have a very classic take on fashion. I like my accessories to pop, but in general, my style is pretty classic.
Within three months I had gone from being this black sheep of the town to suddenly becoming a pop star.
I listen to a mixture of old jazz, contemporary, pop, some world beat stuff and various odds and ends.
It's interesting, because as a musician, I don't feel like I need to be on the top of the pop charts.
I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?
War seems to come out of nowhere, like rust that suddenly pops up on iron after a storm.
I'm kind of a pop balladeer because I love the art of storytelling. I call myself 'HBO for the ears'; I sing little movies.
I find pop art really offensive because it's taking a piece of popular culture and putting it somewhere where people can't see it.
