I just like having fun. It's a very good release, rock music, but you know you say that I am a different person on stage and that same thing could be said of anyone going out to do his job. It's my work, and I'm very serious about it, getting it right - when we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don't do it at all.

My goal in life is to unite my avocation with my vocation, As my two eyes make one in sight.

Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose.

When work becomes play, and play becomes your work, your life unfolds.

Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do.

When you're around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it's not strange, it's just Gaga.
