Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool. ↗
I looked at my competitors and I thought that, If they could do it, I could do it. And if, they are popular and doing well, I could compete with them. ↗
I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers' works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies - what else is there to write about than love and loss? ↗
I will never work merely to make a reputation for myself, to be popular for appearances rather than for what I am. My task is to lead my country through service. ↗
