Some people want to know why I wished to be called Francis. For me, Francis of Assisi is the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and protects creation.

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.

Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.

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

Lots are written about how 'she shows up at board meetings in the saree.' My God, I have never worn a saree to board meetings; people play it out in different ways. I think I have never shied away from the fact that I am an Indian, and I don't intend to, but you can be at home with both cultures.

I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I really don't want to do it and I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about.
