My fashion is about the urban woman in the year 3000. I think about obscure, weird things and try to create a world around them.

Do you know the feeling, when your heart is so hurt, that you could feel the blood dripping?

You laugh at me because I'm different I laugh at you because you're all the same.

I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.

Joanne' is a progression for me. It was about going into the studio and forgetting that I was famous.

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

Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics; they can be lost forever.

Art is going to make a bigger comeback than ever. That's the upside to things getting challenging.

This thing that I do with caring about the message in my music, it's not separate from my work as a commercial artist; they're totally one and the same. I'm always going to be thinking about what my voice means.

I want to -- more than anything -- to create a moment that people will never forget. Not for me, but for themselves. That's what I remember about great Super Bowl performances in the past, when you really get lost in the moment with your family.

Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.

I will always have a very deep love for Amy Winehouse.

When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful. But it's the intention of the work that's changed. I have fans now. I have a new purpose: to remind them that I am one of them, that we are one another. My consciousness has changed.

There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones, and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated.

I used to be so delusional. I always imagined I could be more than I was, and eventually I grew and evolved into that person.

I don't know if it's changing already with 'Joanne,' but my intention is to bring people together that don't know each other and that would maybe feel awkward, but somehow be brought together by the music. That's what I wanted to do. Because that is pure and authentic to my family history and what I stand for.

People love the chaos in my brain, but I'm terrified of it.

I was changing my outfits, my looks, my wig, sometimes several times a day. That's when I know my soul is restless.

Amidst all of these flashing lights I pray the fame won't take my life.

If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it's not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?
