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

Being gay is like glitter, it never goes away.

Never forget the essence of your spark!

Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.

A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj. That's not what I'm trying to do. I love 'hood' music, but my talent is as a singer. My 13-year-old self would have beaten up my 17-year-old self because she would be like, 'You're a sellout!'
