I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.
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.
Money is completely boring to me. It means nothing, except it feeds my art. Every penny I make goes back into the Haus of GaGa. My Haus of GaGa is something like Andy Warhol's Factory.
I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.
When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.
A middle finger is more New York than a corporate ambush. I bleed for my hometown, and I'd die for my fans.
A glamorous life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don't need luxury. For years, I was practically broke but I was still very vain and glamorous. And I still am.
I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***** deli without hearing or seeing me.'
I want kids. I want a soccer team, and I want a husband.
I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed.
Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
In fact, my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for, a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'
I think we must all remember that the ultimate accessory is the condom.
I'm going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.
Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.
It's ok to be sad. I've been trained to love my darkness.
I don't want to be remembered as anything but brave. The only good intention to make money is to help others. I want to be Oprah. I want to be Melinda Gates. If I ever sell products other than my talents, then it will be to give more to others.
I had My Little Ponies. I was obsessed with the idea of a creature that was born with something magical that sort of made them the misfit in the world of the stallion. I'm actually quite obsessed with unicorns. They are in essence a mythical creature. The unicorn is born magical and it's not the unicorn's fault and it doesn't make it any more or less special or any less unique but it can't help that it was born with that magic.
How can I protect something so perfect without evil.
Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.
