I go back to December, turn around and make it alright I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time

I didn't know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that's what I was going to be.

(Talks about Lucky You) "The song was about a girl who didn't fit in and she didn't care and she was different than everyone else. I think there's a long chorus of me singing "Do do do do do do do do do do". It's very young and I look back and it's kind of interesting to hear those kind of storylines and the lyrics that I used to write compared to the lyrics that I write now.

There are so many emotions that you're feeling, you can get stifled by them if you're feeling them all at once. What I try to do is take one moment - one simple, simple feeling - and expand it into three-and-a-half minutes.

I don't need to edit names out of songs and I don't need to edit details out of my songs because I've always been able to be honest with my music. That's the one place where I'm never ever going to change how I do things.

I try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation.

I really like Lady GaGa and everything she is for her fans.
