People Want You To Fail.

For Me It's About Keeping The Dream Alive Of How Much More Devoted, How Much More Honest, How Much Better Of An Artist Can I Become? That's The Only Fear That I Ever Have, That The Dream Will Die.

Memories Are Not Recycled Like Atoms And Particles In Quantum Physics; They Can Be Lost Forever.

My Fashion Is Part Of Who I Am, And Though I Was Not Born With These Clothes On, I Was Born This Way.

When I Wake Up In The Morning, I Feel Just Like Any Other Insecure 24-year-old Girl.

Stand Up For Those Who Cannot Stand Up For Themselves; Its Your Responsibility

My Fashion Is My Most Prized Possession For Two Reasons: 1) Because It Is A Visualization Of All The Hard Work I've Put In To Get Where I Am Today; 2) Because It Is A Legend To The Encyclopedia Of My Life. It Is Exactly What I've Aimed To Seep Into The Artistic Consciousness Of People All Over The World - That Life Is An Art Form.

If You Were To Ask Me What I Want To Do - I Don't Want To Be A Celebrity, I Want To Make A Difference.

Making A Difference

The Instrument That I Never Learned How To Play Was My Fans. You Know, They Are The Part Of The Story That Nobody Teaches You. I Just Want To Do The Right Thing; I Want To Be A Voice With Them, Among Them.

Speaking Purely From A Musical Standpoint, I Think I Am A Great Performer.

I Write Music Every Day.

I Learned That My Sadness Never Destroyed What Was Great About Me. You Just Have To Go Back To That Greatness, Find That One Little Light That's Left. I'm Lucky I Found One Little Glimmer Stored Away.

My Friends Joke That I’m Dead Until I Get Onstage. I’m Dead Right Now As You’re Speaking To Me.

I Live Halfway Between Reality And Theater At All Times. And I Was Born This Way.

If You Don't Have Any Shadows, You're Not Standing In The Light.

I Feel That If I Can Show My Demise Artistically To The Public, I Can Somehow Cure My Own Legend.

I Am A Feminist. I Reject Wholeheartedly The Way We Are Taught To Perceive Women. The Beauty Of Women, How A Woman Should Act Or Behave. Women Are Strong And Fragile. Women Are Beautiful And Ugly. We Are Soft-spoken And Loud, All At Once. There Is Something Mind-controlling About The Way We're Taught To View Women.

My Concerts Are About Me Being Very Private In Public, But I'm Very Protective.

I Feel That My Fans Have Cultivated My Talent And They Continue To Nurture Me.

The Only Thing That I Am Concerned With In Life Is Being An Artist .. I Had To Suppress For So Many Years In High School Because I Was Made Fun Of But Now I'm Completely Insulated In My Box Of Insanity And I Can Do Whatever I Like.

Rejoice And Love Yourself Today 'cause Baby, You Were Born This Way.

Knowing That I Inspired Sam Smith Is One Of The Most Powerful Experiences I've Had As An Artist. I Was Sam. I Still Am Sam.

I Do Not Accept Any Less Than Someone Just As Real, As Fabulous!

I Don't Care What People Think About Me, I Care What They Think About Themselves.

I Try To Not Focus On What People Expect From Me.

What I've Discovered Is That In Art, As In Music, There's A Lot Of Truth-and Then There's A Lie. The Artist Is Essentially Creating His Work To Make This Lie A Truth, But He Slides It In Amongst All The Others. The Tiny Little Lie Is The Moment I Live For, My Moment. It's The Moment That The Audience Falls In Love.

Falling In Love

My Mom And I Are Very Close.

I Think What It Really Is, Is That I Date Creative People. And I Think That What Intimidates Them Is Not My Purse; It's My Mind.

I Adored Freddie Mercury And Queen Had A Hit Called Radio Gaga. That's Why I Love The Name. Freddie Was Unique - One Of The Biggest Personalities In The Whole Of Pop Music.

Amidst All Of These Flashing Lights I Pray The Fame Won't Take My Life.

You Shouldn't Have To Have Money To Have A Luxury Fragrance.

Only Value The Opinion Of Those That You Respect. And Anyone That You Don’t Respect, Pay No Mind To Their Opinion About You Or Anything Else.

Prejudice Is A Disease. So Is Fashion. But I Will Not Wear Prejudice.

I Often Think People Don't Know What To Think Of Me, And In Fact This Is Precisely The Objective Of Many Of My Creations. Even Back In The Days With Lady Starlight, My Original Partner, We Aimed To Bemuse. This Feeling Of Bemusement - It's Neither Good Nor Bad. It Just Is. Whether Critics Realize It Or Not, They've Been In A Very Long Argument Since My Public Birth.

Well, That's Your Opinion, Isn't It? And I'm Not About To Waste My Time Trying To Change It.

I Hope That What You Take Away From My Album Is Not Just The Music - Which I Did Want To Be Fun, And I Did Want It To Be About Individuality, But Please Also Take Away From It That There's No Dream That's Too Big.

I Don't See Myself As Ever Being Like Anybody Else.

That Is What Fame Is, Isn't It? To Get The World To Fall In Love With You.

Falling In Love

I Am A Woman Of Theatre, I'm A Librarian Of Theatre And I Love All Different Kinds Of Music And All Different Kinds Of Expressions.

I'm Inspired By Fashion. I'm Inspired By The Moonlight. I'm Inspired By Sex And Pornography And Slasher Films.

I Am A Walking Piece Of Art Every Day, With My Dreams And My Ambitions Forward At All Times In An Effort To Inspire My Fans To Lead Their Life In That Way.

Some Artists Are Working To Buy The Mansion Or Whatever The Element Of Fame Must Bear, But I Spend All My Money On My Show.

The Only Better Thing Than A Unicorn, Is A Gay Unicorn.

I Love Imperfections.

I Don't View Interviewing As Much Of A Performance. My Whole Life Is In Essence A Performance But Singing And Dancing For Television Is An Entirely Different Thing.

So Basically I Did This Whole Show Carrying 100lbs, Looking Out Of One Eye, Dancing – And Then My Tits Explode At The End. It's Not As Easy As It Looks!

Fight And Push Harder For What You Believe In, You'd Be Surprised, You Are Much Stronger Than You Think.

I Love Being Able To Be Political Without Any Political Affiliation.

I Like Pushing Boundaries.

Pushing Boundaries

I'm Able To Laugh Now, Because I've Gone Through A Lot Of Mental And Physical Therapy To Heal Over The Years, My Music's Been Wonderful For Me. But I Was A Shell Of My Former Self At One Point. I Was Not Myself. To Be Fair, I Was About 19, So ... I Went To Catholic School And All This Crazy Stuff Happened, And I Was Going, 'oh, Is This Just The Way Adults Are?' I Was Very Naive.

This Is One Image. This Is One Moment. This Is One Statement. Artpop

I Work Very Hard, But When God Opens That Door For You - When Life Opens That Door For You, I Should Say - I Think It's Important To Be Giving, To Return The Love Back.

Take My Picture Hollywood. I Wanna Be Star

I'm Not Interested, Larry, In Being A Perfect, Plastic Pop Singer That Looks Great In Bikinis And Is On The Cover Of Every Magazine. I'm More Interested In Helping My Fans To Love Who They Are, And Helping Them To Reject Prejudice And Reject Those Things That They're Taught From Society To Not Like Themselves, To Feel Like Freaks, That They're Not Wanted.

In Fact, The Alejandro Video...is A Celebration Of My Love And Appreciation For The Gay Community, My Admiration Of Their Bravery, And Their Love For One Another, Their Courage In Their Relationships.

Depression Doesn't Take Away Your Talents - It Just Makes Them Harder To Find.

I Guess You Could Say It's Always Been My Destiny To Be A Performer.

Some Artists Want Your Money So They Can Buy Range Rovers And Diamond Bracelets, But I Don't Care About That Kind Of Stuff. I Want Your Soul.

There Is No Oil So Thick As To Destroy The Imagination.

Don't Say I Hate Institutionalised Religion - Rather Than Saying I Hate Those Things, Which I Do Not, What I'm Saying Is That Perhaps There Is A Way Of Opening More Doors, Rather Than Closing So Many.

Ignore All Hatred And Criticism. Live For What You Create, And Die Protecting It.

A Girl's Just As Hot As The Shoes She Choose

Don't You Ever Let A Soul In The World Tell You That You Can't Be Exactly Who You Are.

Cute Relationship

I Work All Day, Do Research, Sketch My Ideas, Prepare For Performances.

I Just Am Committed Wholeheartedly To Theatre With No Intermission.

The Whole Point Of What I Do - The Monster Ball, The Music, The Performance Art Aspect Of It, I Wanna Create A Space For My Fans Where They Can Feel Free And They Can Celebrate Because I Didn't Fit In In High School And I Felt Like A Freak, So I Like To Create This Atmosphere For My Fans Where They Feel Like They Have A Freak In Me To Hang Out With And They Don't Feel Alone.

Fashion Is That Thing That Saved Me From Being Sad.

I Was Doing These Performance Art Pop Music Pieces In The City. And They Were A Bit On The Eccentric Side I Suppose. So People Started To Call Me Gaga After The Queen Song 'radio Gaga.'
