Madonna: Does it bother you that you can't just think about making music and being an artist? You have to think about branding and selling products as well?
Katy: I am a healthy percentage left and right brained, so I can dream dreams and be very pragmatic, and that has served me well. Everything has to pass through my eyes and ears, but I think that's why at a time of short-span pop-up careers I've had a longer one than most of the people would have bet on me.
Madonna: If you get down to betting no one is going to bet on you. Unfortunately we don't live in a world where people support or encourage longevity. You have to manufacture that yourself.
Gaga's career wasn't a pop up though, she's still very successful. Katy has progressed though with each album while Gaga hasn't, maybe that's what she meant
