I think it’s nice to receive things, with your mind as a blank canvas; the point is that we, receive as a blank canvas, that when you hear something, you allow the art — kind of — to be made for the first time, in a way - that you don’t have to all, view it in the same way.

[“Come to me in all your glamour and cruelty, just do that thing that you do, and I’ll undress you …”]

You know, my sexuality, just doesn’t, play a very big part in my, life — like that; it’s much more, of like an animalistic, pure, thing … and I struggled with understanding it my whole life, because I felt more connected to male artists, more connected to rock n roll, more connected to glam culture.

[“A hybrid can withstand these things, my heart can beat with bricks and string, my ARTPOP could mean anything …”]

Femininity, the way that I learned about it, growing up I just, didn’t feel, comfortable … in it? I mean, like, today, we tried wigs on, and then the ones that were maybe more, girly or pretty, it was like I felt uncomfortable, because that’s just not how I see my music … and there’s a certain power in, ignoring, any sort of pretense about sexual orientation, or gender. it’s so much — like to me, a canvas doesn’t have a gender; so, if you’re a vehicle, you have to … kind of annihilate all of those preconceived notions — but, but some people, are really driven by their sexuality, and it’s part of who they are — it’s just, not for me.

Being a woman is like, it’s a secondary part of my existence. I’m much more concerned, with my consciousness and knowing that: I am my fans, my fans are me, we are each other, all people are connected… and that if one person is sick, the whole world is sick; it’s like, all about compassion and love.

This was when I knew that her next album would be 70s folk and country influenced... the Stevie Nicks teas... It was basically "Hey Girl" in photoshoot form!
