I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.

I do not accept any less than someone just as real, as fabulous!

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.

I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.

There is a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I'm really hoping that it's soon.

I actually don't want a throne at all, because I don't view myself as a queen; I view myself as one of my fans.

I used to be so delusional. I always imagined I could be more than I was, and eventually I grew and evolved into that person.
