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

Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics; they can be lost forever.

I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?

I just wanna be myself, and I want you to love me for who I am

I've always been famous, it's just no one knew it yet.

In fact, the Alejandro video...is a celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, and their love for one another, their courage in their relationships.

I realized that it's my own fault that people take advantage of me. I should be around people who cherish my talents, my health, my time. I'm not a pawn for anyone's future business. I'm an artist. I deserve better than to be loyal to people who only believe in me because I make money.
