“Gagadaily.com is the best! I love آپ guys, thanks for being the best شائقین ever. You're doing a great job. Xxgagaloo” – July 2009
“Pop موسیقی will never be low brow.”
“The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous. Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make آپ cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and آپ hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite آپ all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.”
“I really loved writing "Quicksand" for Britney Spears.”
“I don't think a killer chorus ever hurt the world.”
“Perez Hilton is brilliant to me. Because he's taken something that people don't think is valid, don't think is important, and he's made them obsessed with it. People are obsessed with him. They're obsessed with his site, they're obsessed with what he does. They love him. They all love him. They love you, they hate you, what آپ don't want is indifference. The دن that I put a record out that nobody says a damn thing about, that's bad.”
“She's [Christina Aguilera] is such a huge سٹار, ستارہ and if anything I should send her flowers, because a lot of people in America didn't know who I was until that whole thing happened. It really put me on the map in a way.”
“ Retrosexual – I came out with that a long time ago. Me and my buddy Tom were hanging out one دن in the studio and we were talking about metrosexuals, because he had bought a pair of boots and I کہا 'Those are very metrosexual.' And he was like 'I don't know, I think they're kind of retro.' And I کہا 'So you're retrosexual.' It was kind of a joke. The مزید I thought about it – I'm so obsessed with all things retro, the 70s and 80s. I don't know, that word just kind of flew out of my mouth one day, and it stuck with me. ”
“I think that fashion and موسیقی go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music—something powerful that will really grab the audience and create a memorable impression. I think they're very intertwined, and I'm part of that too.”
“I never saw Paris [Hilton], she was older than me, and it's funny that the press always write that I went to school with the Hilton sisters, but I actually only went with Nicky.”
“I’m touring with the Pussycat Dolls. I love Nicole and they are all so sweet and so sexy. I’m very lucky to be on tour with such humble young women.”
“I'm not trying to prove to anybody that I'm going to be here for 30 years. آپ either are یا you're not. آپ either have passion for it, یا آپ don't. It's either important for آپ to stop, and buy a condo, and have babies, and marry a rich actor, یا not do any of that, and continue to make موسیقی and art, and die alone. Which is what I'll probably do.”
“If somebody کہا to me, 'What آپ do isn't art,' I would say, They're right. Yes it is, no it isn't, absolutely, perhaps, it's irrelevant, it's important…that's what this is all about, really. For me, مزید than anything, I want to do something important. It's gotta be important. If it's coming out of my mouth, if it's going on my body, if it's going on TV, it better be important.”
“[For the fans] I would just want to say thank you, I love you, I appreciate so much the support that آپ all give me. آپ listeners, the ones who found me first are, I believe, the future of great art thinkers. Because anyone that's found me now I really think is grabbing on to the ideas that I have, مزید than anything. ”
