Pop songs are like a D.J. set crammed into three minutes.

I admire pop songs that are perfect at three minutes.

I try to listen to over a hundred different songs a day. I listen to every single thing. If you're just listening to pop music, you're just gonna make pop music. I listen to Adele, Yo Yo Ma, Gucci Mane.

We lived, ate, and breathed pop songs.

I've covered Avril Lavigne. I like good pop songs, and I don't think there should be any kind of preconceptions about where good pop songs come from.

When the songs pop out, that's like the climax of us building.
