Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.
I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.
When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl.
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.
No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby I was born to survive.
Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once.
There really is no difference between the bully and the victim.
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.
Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What's the line? I don't have a line.
I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way.
I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.
You're love is nothing I can't fight. Can't sleep with a man who dims my shine.
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.
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 believe that if you have revolutionary potential, you must make the world a better place.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
