"I thought it was so cool that all you knew about Prince was about his artistry and music." — Max Martin

Pop music follows the evolution of society in general: Everything moves faster.

It's music. It's supposed to be fun and inspirational. You have to be inspired. If I did it because it was my 'job,' and I only did it to make money, I don't think I'd still be doing it.

If nobody recognizes you, if nobody cares, it's easier to avoid getting carried away. That's way harder if you're a famous artist.
