I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.

Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best.

Be inspired to ignore their ignorant message, and feel gratitude in your heart that you are not burdened or addicted to hate, as they are.

There is a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I'm really hoping that it's soon.

If you’re going through a dark time... don’t ever give up. You can always make your way back to the other end of that circle and find your happiness again.

I guess you could say I devoted myself so strongly to my music that for awhile I forgot about my family. But I only get one set of parents, and I think I forgot about that for a little while.
