My name's not John Beatle, it's John Lennon.

If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are.

I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.

I think there are different kinds of fame. There's fame which is plastic and about paparazzi and money and being rich, and then there's the fame, which is when no one knows who you are but everyone wants to know who you are.

My fans are who I am. You give meaning to my life. You will never know the connection I feel to you.

Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it's something that's reserved for only the people who are closest to me. It's not because I don't like my given name; it's that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is - you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.
