I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.

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

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

The instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.

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 don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling.

There is a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I'm really hoping that it's soon.
