I was very popular in high school.
Well, I'm not that popular with the politicians, I have to say.
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
I never felt popular as a child and never had best friends.
Do not exchange your dignity for popularity.
Originally, 'Popular' was going to be a movie.
The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become.
There's a great difference between being popular and being an artist.
