Pops Quotations | Page 2

What I'm bringing to the pop table is that I'm not pretentious.

There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.

The animated bug has bitten pop culture. It makes me feel happy and free. When you don't act seriously, you can make up your own rules.

Well, I'm not sure what pop psychology is, but I don't like it.

My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.

When you're on the pop treadmill, you don't always feel that cool because you have to do things to promote the record that aren't necessarily your environment.

I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty.

Marilyn Manson is a mockery of American pop culture.

Everything present is included in the past somewhere; nobody's present pops out of nowhere.

But television, when I was doing it, was all about scoring. You had to make these jokes bang, do whatever you could to make the material really pop. And if it didn't, there was something wrong with the material, or with you.

I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.

Pop music is not a threatening style of music.

Some breakfast cereals only come into their own as children's party treats: what are cornflakes and Coco Pops for, if not to clump together with melted chocolate and spoon into a cupcake holder?

I have a metal plate in my head, and can pop my shoulder and pop it back.

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.

Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.

When you're part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.

Some cats, Iggy Pop, they're going to always have that hunger.

Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.

The pop world has really opened its doors.

I enjoy all forms of music - pop, classical and opera.

We started pulling on the line, and this huge gator pops up on the surface. Martin was armed with a .22 magnum pistol. He shot it a few times in the head, but the gator kept submerging and resurfacing. Then the main line snapped and the gator was free-lined. It took about 21/2 hours for us to subdue it.

We're just a different basketball team when Pops is in the lineup. Our offense is able to flow with just a little bit better fluidity with him out there because of all the attention he gets.

We're just a different basketball team when Pops is in the lineup.

We're just happy to be here. It's been a great ride. Selection Sunday our name pops up and we're excited and 6 days later we're in the Sweet 16 and things change quick.

I had an indie pop phase, I had just about every phase you could think of.

Ladies love me I'm on my cool J

If I pop everyone who calls me a diva then I'm going to spend the rest of my life in prison.

So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap!

It's just amazing to do something that's part of a pop culture phenomenon.

Pop is in a shocking state at the moment.

I guess everyone has their own definition of what folk is or pop or whatever. I find it incredibly hard to describe music these days.

I was raised on pop music. Anything classical ran together in a complicated blur.

We're a different team with Pops in the lineup. He creates so much attention just being on the floor.

We're a different basketball team with Pops in the lineup. It makes a world of difference.

I'm a failed pop star. I always sneak a song into everything I do.

I'm not interested in pop art.

Let's not bequeath the pop charts to just children.

Pop, I'm nothing! I'm nothing, Pop. Can't you understand that? There's no spite in it any more. I'm just what I am, that's all.

People always say, ‘You look like Iggy Pop,’

The whole experience has really stayed with me. Dunsfold pops into my head at the strangest times, and I run the track through in my head. 'I can go faster there and there...'

I listen to zero pop music, which is really weird from someone who makes pop music.

I do like to pop in and help my friends out when I can, or be a part of their projects.

Pop culture's gotten much more disposable.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

I wanted to be a painter, somewhere between Abstract Expressionism and Pop.

No doubt in my mind, Sam has the potential to be the best and most exciting heavyweight in the world. We want to bring in a top-notch trainer who can assist Pops and get him to the next level.

Pops won't decide. He has been at DEI a long time so it's hard for him to just up and leave. But at the same time he wants me to succeed with this, so it's hard for him to decide what he wants to do.

Pops is playing like the monster he is. Nothing he's doing out there is surprising us because we see it every day.

Pops is extremely athletic and a special player. He's another added mature player who makes our offense flow a lot better. And he's a presence inside on defense. So we're glad to have him back.

I have clients who drink one or two pops a day, and that's just part of their gig. It's the volume that is killing us.

Certainly, in the same way the Web has leveled the playing field for businesses of all sizes to compete, search has taken that one step further. It allows Mom and Pops to get that much closer to shoppers they wouldn't ordinarily come into contact with.

Imagine a car crash. Two 2,500-pound Minis run into each other and, instead of a fender rattling to the pavement, a 6,500-pound Hummer pops out. The more collisions we produce, the better the chance we have of finding something rare.

I hated missing every bit of it up here. (Team trainers) were real cautious and careful with me, which is good, so it's not something that pops up later.

God is not a vending machine where if you put in enough prayer quarters we get a Reese's Pieces bag that pops out.

He got a suicide pass. I stepped up and just hit him. I feel bad that he's hurting. You hope you make a hit like that and he pops up and gets going.

My pop did a little time.

I thought we played well. We played hard. We gave a good effort. Pops was really unstoppable. He's a man-child. He's an NBA player, that's for sure.

I think the fact that Pops wasn't out there was really our rallying point because Pops is such a valuable part of this team mentally, physically and emotionally.

I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.

I think it was just the emotion that here you're dealing with your child's heart problem and then something else pops up.

I think that markets are doing well considering everything we're going through. We're going to be in a tight trading range with a few pops upward here and there for the next few weeks, but we're going to come out of this (period) better off.

Jeans & Classics have a great reputation as one of the more highly rated national touring symphony pops program groups. The Jeans 'n' Classics band -- there are several of them -- do covers of great bands of the past. There's a Led Zeppelin band. They have a Beatles Band. And people really swear by them. They are very well rehearsed and they are very polished.

I remember when I was a teenager, the epitome of success for us was Top of the Pops in those days, because we really had no idea.

My pops always told me never make excuses. A lot of times when that ball goes up, all that pain goes out the window.

I think I heard it once on Top Of The Pops and thought it was very bland,

If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.

I would never say he's the fastest 3-year-old sprinter on the West Coast. Every time you say something like that another one pops put to prove you wrong. But I would say he's one of the fastest.

When something pops up on my computer, I know I can look at it very quickly and assess the situation and know where our people need to go ? what needs to happen.

We haven't really sat down as a team or individually and said, 'What are we going to do now that Pops is gone?'? Throughout the entire season, it's what are we going to do as team, how are we going to play team defense? It's never been about an individual player. It sounds funny to say. People say it all the time, but that is really how we are.

We wanted to go into Pops and establish the inside position. We competed at all times, and at times our offense was magnificent.

Whether it's a GM position or not, there are lots of different holes to fill. If the right person pops up, we're going to jump on them.

When a subject pops into a director's head, you either fit in there somewhere, or you don't. An actor is only who he is. Especially as you get older, there's not as much of a range of potentially feasible parts.

I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.

I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to pop culture.

Once we used to have to crank up our cars, now you can pop it on from inside your house. Everything has changed except how we get freedom.

Duchamp is known for calling a thing art, rather than making it. A lot of that is picked up in pop art, too.

Mine was not pop art. I maybe started with a subject, but I changed the subject.

There is no cramming for a test of character. It always comes as a pop quiz.

So I'm a one movie at a time person, I don't develop. Normally we do a movie then one thing leads to another. If something pops up that catches my attention, then I'll decide.

When I'm walking around, I'm usually drinking pop, so I can't have a mask on. That's why I couldn't be a surgeon.

There's always that struggle between me wanting to keep [song] new and fresh and then be - I can never get with pop songs being so repetitive.

What is uncertain is how much further the bubble can expand, and what might pop it.

Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.

Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.

Pop music has always adopted the style of marrying upbeat melodies to dour lyrics.

Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.

We were watching to make sure nothing pops up. The winds - you never know what they're going to do. Winds can actually push fires back down the hill.

Whenever he comes up, he pops in. He likes his shellfish and his fresh salmon. He's the first to let you know if it's not what he wants, but he's a great customer and very down-to-earth.

We're not paying attention to any of that foolishness. What we're paying attention to is that we want Pops to get double-digit rebounds. I want J.R. to take better shots. I want (senior forward) Mike Hall to take control of this team defensively. I want (senior forward) Omar (Williams) to step it up and be more aggressive. We're not caring about being in the top 20. I want to make that clear.

We're pursuing trades and other free agents as well. We'll just have to keep pursuing them and see which one pops up and take the best one we can get.

We will invite the public to bring their lawn chairs and blankets and come listen to the pops concert.

Two of the POPs are co-located with MPLS POPs on the 21CN. If we needed to, we could hold metropolitan areas together with MPLS in the 21CN.

The reason the red flags came up is because of my pops. My pops had kidney problems, so anything that's abnormal with my kidneys is something that should be taken seriously, not lightly.

This was huge. Pops helped build this place, and I felt the basketball gods were on our side.

What better way to celebrate this with a huge concert, with a fabulous pops conductor, with a great orchestra, internationally acclaimed artists, and have it right on the water, a floating concert, right on the Erie Canal?

We will use this to learn and as a stepping-stone. I think the real test of the team mentally would be that when those things happen, when adversity pops up, you learn from it and use it to make yourselves better.

We had the ball inside and they took it from us. Pops had a couple of shots inside -- dunks he usually makes and he missed them. That really affected our shooting percentage. A large part of that had to do with their defense.

We shut them down and another one pops up.

We got Pops a catch for the record book.
