There really is no difference between the bully and the victim.

This is one image. This is one moment. This is one statement. ARTPOP

I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside.

You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.

If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light

The fashion I've acquired over the years is so sacred to me - from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I've collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood. The clothes are on mannequins, also on hangers and in boxes with a photo of each piece, and there's a Web site where I can go to look through everything. It's too big - I could never sort through it myself! But these garments tell the stories of my life.

I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.
