I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one.

For all my love little monsters i am your mom you are my child in my hand i protect you like my eyes but dont worry ill cacth you if you fall.

I don't feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy.

I think that once you've had a few No. 1s in your career that you've kind of proven yourself and I don't feel the need to prove anything anymore.

I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you - when life opens that door for you, I should say - I think it's important to be giving, to return the love back.

I feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.

I'm not a feminist. I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars.
