There are a lot of reasons to be hated in pop culture, and being a straight white male is one of them. In fact, I almost hate me
I have always maintained that Iggy Pop is the Heavyweight Champion of Rock & Roll.
Pop culture is like our subconscious.
There's still a lot of misogynist pop music out there, and I think that hearing something that's so explicitly feminist and so angry - when we're still growing up in a culture where girls and women are not supposed to be angry - is a real revelation for young women.
I love pop music, but I also love noise music, IDM - anything really, I get something out of most kinds of music. I just need to enjoy the process.
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 personally always hated Pop art.
Everybody uses pop culture as a shorthand.
I had no plans to be a writer. My teenaged bid for stardom was to be a pop star. . . which, ahem, didn't exactly work out.
It certainly wasn't taught in school beyond the idea of "girls can do anything that boys can do" - I understood that kind of pop culture feminism. I did not understand anything else about feminism.
I'm not confident about my appearance, I'm not confident about anything really in my life, I'm a very tortured soul when it comes to self-confidence, but when it comes to my pop songs, if I started to question, I would never stop questioning.
Pop knew absolutely nothing about pro football.
Awards are great, but they're not who you are, and pop culture isn't who you are.
I've never been in a ditch so low that a run wouldn't pop me out of it.
I am not dogging on non-melodic pop music because I love it, but I am saying that is why the timeless songs are still here. It's because of the melody. As far as what shouldn't be brought back, the high-waisted bikini bottoms.
I wrote 'Lights' a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with 'Biff' Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn't think it would be a big song for some reason.
I'm a natural behind the camera. My attentions are more toward behind the scenes, more toward creating, producing, and directing what's going on here. When I finally do pop in front of the lens, I'm genuinely glad and relieved to be there.
Pop culture hales you and wants you to fail.
It's not that I don't like American pop; I'm a huge admirer of it, but I think my roots came from a very English and Irish base. Is it all sort of totally non-American sounding.
I don't want to have my face on the cover of a Wheaties box. I wanna have my face on the cover of a Rice Krispies box. "Snap, Krackle, Mitch and Pop"!
