My mother always wanted to give back.

When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That's how little I own.

I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.

Only I can snatch my own weave

I have kids who buy tickets for my show... How could I take their money and ignore their problems?

When you're around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it's not strange, it's just Gaga.

A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage - what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ‘I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.
