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'm perpetually lonely.

I'm always on the market for a new friend, period. As your success continues to grow, you start to see who your real friends are. But I'm always looking for wonderful people to have in my life that have no agenda and aren't fake friends.

I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'

Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.

My concerts are about me being very private in public, but I'm very protective.

People want you to fail.
