Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.

I don't want to be remembered as anything but brave. The only good intention to make money is to help others. I want to be Oprah. I want to be Melinda Gates. If I ever sell products other than my talents, then it will be to give more to others.

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.

In the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it.

More education for women. More jobs for women. More equal opportunities for women. More women to be taken seriously. And I think more than anything we wish to be heard and not to be shut down. I think this is a good thing to think about for any community; what is important is that our voices be heard and not swallowed in an abyss of history.

I'm a single girl. I like to have a good time. I just sleep with the guys in the band all the time because it's easier.
