Rejoice and love yourself today'Cause baby, you were born this way.

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.

I'm going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.

The way that I sing, what I sing about, what I wear, who I am, this is me. I was born this way.

I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music. I think they're very intertwined.

I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one.
