"At the center of it all, it is a pop record," she explained. "I will carve it into my chest... because I don't know if people forget this about me, or if it's just the way I am, but I'm never aiming to make a pop record that is of the status quo or what's happening in music. My aim is to always be different and to push things further. Not necessarily forward or backwards, but just push them in a new direction and it alway has a positive message behind it."
"It's one of those things where I kind of found myself in interviews bringing myself back to the message of The Fame, because it's almost like I need to remind people that I'm not interested in making normal pop music. I never have been and my interest has always been to burst the bubble and be the fist that gashes through the window because that's what's exciting and fun and it's what I love to do."
