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. He was not only a singer but also a fantastic performer, a man of the theatre and someone who constantly transformed himself. In short: a genius.

They can't scare me, if I scare them first.

In my show I announce, 'People say Lady Gaga is a lie, and they are right. I am a lie. And every day I kill to make it true.'

For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing.

The blurring of fantasy and reality is something that the Japanese herald in their life, in their day-to-day commercialism.

Its OK to be weird. And maybe your weird is my normal. Whos to say? I think its an attitude.

An artist is the only thing I want to be. I only want my freedom and my creativity. It's all that I live for. I reject the idea that I have to take all the costumes and makeup off to be f - king authentic.
