I have to be really honest: People who say they can't escape the paparazzi are full of sh*t. Let me just be the artist to throw everybody under the bus. I don't spend lots of money on houses or lots of cars, but I do spend money on security and they never find me.

You think I'm going to ask these sweet 14 year olds to ask their parents to buy a $100 ticket then run around in latex and lip sync? No way.

I have a whole second act of ARTPOP and I love it.

You must always remember, the most important fashion accessory is the condom.

I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times.

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.

People ask me why I wear veils. I reply, I am mourning. Mourning what? Well I figure something shitty must be going on somewhere.
