• I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.

• Un viejo ensayo de John Updike comienza así: "Vivimos en una era de inventos gratuitos y mejoras negativas". Ese lenguaje es general y abstracto, cercano a la cima de la escala. Provoca nuestra reflexión, pero ¿qué pruebas concretas llevan a Updike a su conclusión? La respuesta está en su segunda frase: "Consideremos la lata de cerveza". Para ser aún más específico, Updike se quejaba de que la invención del pop-top había arruinado la experiencia estética de beber cerveza. Pop-top" y "cerveza" están en la parte inferior de la escala, "experiencia estética" en la parte superior.

• La vida es un proceso que fluye constantemente y en algún punto del camino surgirán cosas desagradables; puede que dejen una cicatriz, pero entonces la vida fluye y, como el agua corriente, cuando se detiene se vuelve rancia. Sigue adelante con valentía, amigo mío, porque cada experiencia nos enseña una lección. Sigue a tope porque la vida es tal que a veces es agradable y a veces no.

• Twelve years ago me and Allanah became really sick of writing pop songs, ... Eventually we dug a grave for the Thompson Twins, pushed them in there, and then moved to New Zealand. Before that I'd lived for a long time in south London where reggae was the music of the streets around me. You'd hear it booming out of people's windows and shops, and you could buy great old reggae singles for 50p (NZ1.30) in second hand shops. I'd always loved that sound, so soon after we got here I started making electronic dub records with my mate Rakai Karaitiana as International Observer.

• I'm always looking to rock out. But it isn't really about rocking out versus being mellow, in terms of your personal satisfaction. In the end, you just want to be good. When you look at something that's really good, it might be Iggy Pop or it might be Leonard Cohen. Whatever it is, you want it to be really good.

• The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.

• Diría que mis influencias musicales van desde la electrónica pop-rock, la new age y la clásica. Pero creo que, en concreto, los grupos: me encanta Jem, me encanta Sigur Ross, me encanta David Gray, me encanta Elliot Smith... un montón de gente diferente. Pero no encuentro inspiración lírica en nadie.

• Frozen peas can be shelled very fast with a wringer-type washer. Put a pan on one side of the wringer to catch the peas and the pods go on through. You will think peas will go through the wringer and be mashed the moment the pod hits the wringer, but they will pop out before they go through. A very fast job can be done this way.

• But the pop-up suburb has an incomplete feel to it like something that just wasn't right, wasn't quite real, almost like a movie set. When people raised families in that sterile environment, it produced directionless children who became directionless teenagers, then directionless adults. With no roots, no past to stand on, you got hollow kids.

• The term 'popular culture' always used to mean what the people do - pop songs, folk songs, music in general used to live because people would sing these songs and tell these stories together. Then all of these new technologies came out and it became the work of professionals.

• Todo tiene algo malo. Me disgusta que la gente haga mal uso de algo que me gusta tanto. Va más allá del dinero. Va más allá de todo eso y de la gloria. Me encanta lo que he hecho y no soporto ver lo que le están haciendo. Pero he aprendido a vivir con ello porque eso es lo que han hecho. Han llegado con los sonidos modernos. Yo lo llamo pop moderno. Ya no es country.

• I can't judge how another person does their [music] work. Everyone has a choice and the music industry is much more open that it was when I was younger. Certain things are gone, others have developed, but everyone makes their choices. Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public. I don't feel it's my place to judge. I just look at things as a fan, I like or or I don't like it.

• No se pueden escribir muchas canciones pop antes de que todas suenen igual. Llegué a un punto en el que algo abiertamente melódico y directo me sonaba un poco cursi. Las canciones pop parecían demasiado manufacturadas.

• Writing a song is like - you're writing a song all the time. It's just when it pops out. It's been there all the time. It's not something that suddenly you do it. It's always there. Suddenly, it's in the right mixture inside you to come out. Usually when you're writing on the piano or a guitar, you don't write in lyrics, on their own. To me it's very boring.

  Mick Jagger
