A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships were formed out of affection, mutual respect and a feeling of having something strong in common. These are eternal values that cannot be racially classified. This is the way I look at race.

There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

The realest people don't have a lot of friends.

Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.

I was performing in New York and my friends started to call me Gaga. They said I was very theatrical... So they said, you're Gaga.
