Ten Years
“I was inspired and I started to write, but not because I intended on putting out a new album, but because I felt this urgency that I had to write. And I discovered all of these things about myself. Monsters. So the album is for you.”
Ten Years
“With ‘The Fame Monster’ in particular, I began to write the music as I was hearing it and repeating verses over and over again until I was writing the choruses and then I realized that I was writing about fear. So in my self-discovery through the songs on ‘The Fame Monster’, I discovered ‘Monster’. And that is when each song began to sort of take on its own life – ‘Fear of Alcohol Monster’, ‘Fear of Sex Monster’, ‘Fear of Love Monster’, ‘Fear of Death Monster’, ‘Dance in the Dark’ is ‘Fear of Myself Monster’.”
“I just always wanted to be independent, making music, and a free woman. It’s just kind of always been in my blood.”
