“It is extremely helpful, wonderful, and amazing to have a partner that I can make music with. So we set up a studio in all the rooms that we’re in (on tour), and we record in the hotel. There’s a piano and mic, and so whenever it feels like it’s a good time to make music, then we just do it. I think when I was in my early twenties, I was this very Method human being where, with every project that I took on, I was always living in it 24/7. And I think some of my age and experience has taken me to this new time in my life where I feel like I can approach it as the creator and the artist and not be lost in it. So when I get on stage for the Mayhem Ball, I am fully in that for the two hours and 40 minutes I’m on stage. And every day I go in early to the venue and do unique arrangements for the show to keep it fresh and fun and interesting for the fans. But then when it’s over, I drop it. And that leaves a lot more space for me to then write something new, because it frees my mind up. So I take care of myself as much as I can on the road, and I’m finding that that’s leading to a lot of songwriting, which is the best.” @LadyGaga @LittleMonsters
