I went out into the woods for a few days. I just disconnected from everything and allowed myself to be free and be human. Because, that's what makes you really good, if you can be vulnerable, if you can be vulnerable on stage.

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

just remember: i love you, and love yourselves. 'cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.

I can't wait to design the performance. I want to make a moment that is about much more than me. Performing in space is such an honor. I want to challenge myself to come up with something that will not only bring everyone together but will also have a message of love that blasts into the beyond.

You think I'm going to ask these sweet 14 year olds to ask their parents to buy a $100 ticket then run around in latex and lip sync? No way.

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

If you don't have any shadows, you're not standing in the light.
