Lady Gaga stated that her ambition is to follow up Born This Way with a bigger and better record. "If you're running a marathon, and you're about to cross the finish line, you don't stop and say, 'Oh, once I cross it, it's over.' You run as fast as you can to get there as quickly as you can. So I guess, for me, it's about how many marathons can I run? How many dreams can I make true? Now, not for me, but for my fans," she told BANG Showbiz.
