My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no was around I'd kiss the screen.

I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.

What I love about Gaga is her story, where she came from. Before she made it, before anyone knew who she was, I knew who she was and, to see her finally make it, I was so happy. If we were to work together that would be cool.

There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.

I wanted to be on my own and get out of the house. We were the kind of kids that - we - obeyed our parents. If they said no, you don't ask why.

I lose things all the time. I used to lose my license all the time before I put a place in my car for it.

When I date different guys, I just have to stay away - and not let myself fall. Because if I do, it's over.
