Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

You can be whoever you choose to become in the future, just do it. Just see it and visualize it and every day of your life project that about yourself.

Don't idolize me, idolize yourself.

Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.

You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.

Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it's something that's reserved for only the people who are closest to me. It's not because I don't like my given name; it's that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is - you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.

The way that I sing, what I sing about, what I wear, who I am, this is me. I was born this way.
