I know, or I dream, that pop music can search out limits, mock restrictions and divisions, exorcise cultural nightmares, contribute to revitaiisation of people's thinking, disturb and inspire if only through its unstable mobility, its readiness to pursue apparently irrelevant links and private associations.

Pop music - what used to be known as rock music, a loud novelty - can be something more than a pointless, artificial diversion.

We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.

Pop music can play a large part in the way numerous young people determine their right to desire and their need to question.

Through pop music ideas, energies and resources can emerge that can help the audience release themselves from the unrelieving confinements of environment.

I think the internet and the web is just like a big consciousness of the planet, a big brain of the planet.

There's different ways of presenting a pop group to the world. It doesn't have to be the same old poses.
