My father [Joe Germanotta] opened a restaurant. It's so amazing... it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there.

There are some people in this world that believe being gay is a choice. It's not a choice, we're born this way.

I’ve had enough, this is my prayer, that I’ll die living just as free as my hair.

If love is a sin, live a lie. You and Me, until I die.

I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.

Then, when I'm in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it's all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

The whole world might not understand. I don't really care.
