When someone asks, 'Does success make you into a monster?' I always say, 'No, it enables you to be a monster.'

I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here.

I don't have sophisticated tastes. I have average tastes. If you looked in my collection of DVDs, you'd see 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars.' In the book library, you'd see John Grisham and Sidney Sheldon. And if you look in my fridge, it's, like, children's food - chips, milkshakes, yogurt.

That was extraordinary. Unfortunately, extraordinarily bad.

I want people to understand that from the minute Lady Gaga arrived, she created a new set of rules: being different is good; embrace it.

If you only ever heard Lady Gaga, she's the most boring singer in the world.
