Parade cover
Gaga and Bennett appear on the cover of a September 2014 issue of Parade magazine. Bennett talks about what he has learned from Gaga. She talks about starting a family and her song Lush Life.
Nobody has communicated with the public more than Lady Gaga. Ever. I trust the audience, and I’m very impressed. As far as they’re concerned, she’s part of their family. The only guy who ever did that was Bing Crosby, years ago.

Gaga and her dog Asia appear on the cover of the September 2014 issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
Asia is very sweet and calm. She would be very gentle with Choupette. She does not have a personal maid yet, but I adore making her little presents and cooking her home-made puppy food.
Lady Gaga interview
Seacrest interviews Gaga during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks her which song she is most excited to play during her tour artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball.
I’m excited to play basically the entire album, but I really love Venus from ARTPOP. It’s the one I produced myself and during the show we turn the entire stage in to the planet Venus.
Harper’s Bazaar cover
Gaga appears on the cover of the March 2014 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. She talks about how she went through depression.
I became very depressed at the end of 2013. I was exhausted fighting people off. I couldn’t even feel my own heartbeat. I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness like an anchor dragging everywhere I go. I just didn’t feel like fighting anymore. I didn’t feel like standing up for myself one more time — to one more person who lied to me.

Gaga appears on the cover of the December 2013 issue of Glamour magazine.
I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is—you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.
Vogue cover
Gaga appears on the cover of the September 2012 issue of Vogue magazine.
Shh don’t tell Twitter, September issue of Vogue magazine, sorry Anna [Wintour] but underground kids deserve it. Bisous! I’m totally channeling Fozzibear.
Lady Gaga interview
Lady Gaga speaks openly in the home she grew up in as Winfrey questions her about personal life, career and charity.
The latest thing I do is I don’t read a damn thing. No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, ‘Did you hear about?’ I don’t want to know nothing about anything that is going on… I shut it all off.
Harper’s Bazaar cover
Gaga appears on the cover of the October 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. She talks about how she isn’t wearing makeup on the cover, fitness, and how people expect the unexpected of her.
Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.
Harper’s Bazaar interview
Gaga gives an interview to Harper’s Bazaar Magazine about the success of her single Born This Way.
It broke all the records. Gaga cheers, bopping up and down, adding that what she found most remarkable was that the song attracted new fans. I was happy with the fans I’ve already got. But it opened this new fan base of people who love the simplicity and joyfulness of it.
Praises Born This Way
Carter praises Born This Way:
We’re just starting to play music for the label. We’re very excited about it. We’re starting to play a little for people and getting a feel for it, and she’s done an incredible job, a really incredible job.
Carter also says he and Gaga have yet to decide on how to market the album.
Well, you know what, it’s not where I go from a business standpoint, it’s more about where she goes creatively because, truth be told, we built the business around her creative infrastructure and that business that was built is unique to Lady Gaga.
Cosmopolitan cover
Gaga appears on the cover of the April 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan. She talks about an old boyfriend who didn’t believe in her.
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 f***ing deli without hearing or seeing me.’
Describes ’95-5′ partnership
Carter is interviewed in Ad Age magazine about Gaga’s marketing partnerships. At this time Gaga has 2.8 million Twitter followers, more than 5.2 million Facebook fans. Digital-single sales are over 20 million, album sales are eight million. Carter says their partnership is “95-5”:
The only thing I do is manage the vision. Ninety-five percent of the time I won’t comment on creative, and 95% of the time she lets me run the business. The other 5% is where we debate about things like, ‘Do you really want to bleed to death on stage at the [MTV] VMAs?’ She wins even when we do have those debates 5% of the time.
Carter says he doesn’t want Gaga to ever look like she’s endorsing a brand — hence why she’s created products for Universal’s Beats By Dre headphones line, Viva Glam and now Polaroid as its new creative director.
You won’t see her face plastered on any packaging or anything. We’re comparing it to when Tom Ford went to Gucci or Steve Jobs went into Apple and brought a different thought process and taste level in. We’re looking for her to do the same exact thing at Polaroid. It’s not about her putting her name on something — it’s reinvigorating a brand.
Lady Gaga interview
DeGeneres interviews Gaga during The Ellen DeGeneres Show and asks her questions about the premiere of her latest song, Judas, her success, and the reason why she never wears pajamas.
It’s very funny. My best friends often crash at hotels where I’m at. They will come visit me on the road and they always call me a Beauty Queen disaster. I wake up and my wig’s falling off my head. My mole is on the other side of face. My fake mole, it’s not fake it’s surreal.
