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

I was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.

When the whole world has their eyes on you, if you say something that doesn't truly come from your spirit and your soul, or if you wear something that doesn't come from your spirit and your soul, it's an injustice to your position. And so, I'm really myself every single day and I do it because I know my fans would want me to.

I think a lot of people love to convolute what everyone else does in order to disempower women.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go - that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

My "home" is a controversial topic. I don't exactly have one. I live all over the world.

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!
