I have a whole second act of ARTPOP and I love it.

You may never reach that glorious moment until you die, so live life on the edge halfway between heaven and hell...and let's all dance in the middle in purgatory.

Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What’s the line? I don’t have a line.

I'm terrified of therapy because I don't want it to mess with my creativity.

I don't want to make niche-oriented music.

I'm able to laugh now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy to heal over the years, my music's been wonderful for me. But I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19, so ... I went to Catholic school and all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?' I was very naive.

Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside.
