"There's certainly always a hidden message in my music videos ...But I would say most predominately, I'm always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be."
Gaga also explained how the infamous "Pussy Wagon" from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 1" ended up making a very prominent cameo.
"We were having lunch one day in Los Angeles and I was telling him about my concept for the video and he said, 'You gotta use the Pussy Wagon!,' "
she said of the director's reaction to the pulpy look and feel of the video.
"There was this really amazing quality in 'Paparazzi,' where it kind of had this pure pop music quality but at the same time it was a little bit of commentary on fame culture,"
she said of her first hook-up with director Jonas Åkerlund, who also helmed the "Telephone" mini-movie.
"I wanted to do the same thing with this video — take a decidedly pop song, which on the surface has a quite shallow meaning, and turn it into something deeper: the idea that America is full of young people that are inundated with information and technology and turn it into something that is more of a commentary on the kind of country that we are."
Also, did you think you might have seen a Lady Gaga playing different roles in the film, think again...
