I live between fantasy and reality at all times. In that way, I’m a librarian.

The only thing that I am concerned with in life is being an artist .. I had to suppress for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I'm completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like.

When I die, they'll say Lady Gaga was special but her fans, her Monsters, they were really something

I started out playing in clubs. I always like existing under ground and over ground at the same time.

I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside.

We wanted to make something that sounded perfect because of the quality of the emotion...the honesty.

My concerts are about me being very private in public, but I'm very protective.
