I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true.
I'm not one icon. I'm every icon. I'm an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time.
I was performing in New York and my friends started to call me Gaga. They said I was very theatrical... So they said, you're Gaga.
Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner, you want to be like yourself. I want my fans to know it's okay.
I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.
Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you - they make you perfect. It's not real life. I'm gonna say this about girls: The dieting wars have got to stop. Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it's affecting kids your age. And it's making girls sick.
I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.
I believe that if you have revolutionary potential, you must make the world a better place.
I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.
I don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.
You're love is nothing I can't fight. Can't sleep with a man who dims my shine.
I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way.
Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What's the line? I don't have a line.
For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven't slept for three days.
There really is no difference between the bully and the victim.
Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once.
No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby I was born to survive.
In my show I announce, 'People say Lady Gaga is a lie, and they are right. I am a lie. And every day I kill to make it true.
When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl.
