How did you and Gaga come together to create "Til It Happens to You" for The Hunting Ground?
I thought she would be really the right person, the right artist. I couldn't think of anybody better, so I basically called her, and she was into it. I played what I had on the phone, and it could've gone either way. It could've been something too personal or she didn't wanna get near it, or it could've been something that touched her. It was the latter, and she was pretty emotional. I still didn't know if she was for sure doing it or would be involved. Then I thought, "You know what? I'm gonna fly out there. If she doesn't want to work on it with me, I'm gonna have some fun in New York for a couple of days. If not, this is gonna be the best thing I've been a part of." Fortunately it turned out to be that.

I know that immediately after the Oscar nominations, Linda Perry had offered some critiques on Gaga's involvement...
I don't even deal with that. Let's let the drama stay where the drama is buried. It's about what the song is doing and the message of it and how it's helping so many people and how positive it is. What Gaga brought to it is very valuable, and I'm not gonna let someone question that. If they want to, they can. But that's their thing, not mine.

And are you gonna be working with Gaga anymore?
Yeah, we've done a few really great songs. She's great to work with, man. We're so different. Our working styles are different. She'll make me more weird, and I'll make her less weird. Even though I'm probably more weird than she is, if that makes sense.

What can we expect on Gaga's performance on Sunday for the Oscars.
Well, you can expect for her to blow your ****ing mind. [Laughs] Just look back to last year, you know with The Sound of Music. I think she's gonna take it to a whole other level. I kind of know what the show's gonna be like. It's gonna be so powerful and mind-blowing and she's gonna knock it out of the park as she always does. I mean, that's what she does. I can't wait to be sitting in that audience a year from when I tweeted that I'd be back with her in the stage singing it, and it happened. It's crazy. Isn't that crazy?

The art of saying something without telling anything new.

Bobby I see you :stalkga:

Like the part wherein "Gaga is the perfect person to do this...". :wtf: Hasn't that been asked and answered a hundred times? Anyway, I think it's normal imo. At least they got hype interviews. :gaycat:

The Oscar performance questions hyped me enough, tho. :giveup:

Omg Diane has to be one of Gaga's biggest fans, and I can't wait to hear other songs they've worked on together!

They're campaigning so hard. They should based upon the amoubt of effort they've put in alone.

I never thought of that.  That would be amazing if she did that!  :applause:

I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.
