My mama told me when I was young we're all born SUPERSTARS!

No matter how many people are screaming your name or how many Number One hits you have, you can still wake up and feel like a loser.

I'm always trying to create something that the fans won't expect.

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

I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it's my mind.

I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous. The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do. To me it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them it's outrageous and crazy.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.
