If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I donโt know if I would be the algorithm. Iโm not a supermodel. Thatโs not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than whatโs happening on the outside.
Lady GagaI was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.
Lady GagaWhat 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.
Lady GagaI just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.
Lady GagaIf you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.
