When I die, they'll say Lady Gaga was special but her fans, her Monsters, they were really something

I never care personally what people say about me. The music, and the message - this will always be more important to me than people thinking I'm the best.

I'm doing everything that I can, working with experts, really studying the statistics to figure out a way we can make it cool or normal to be kind and loving.

Take my picture Hollywood. I wanna be STAR

cause it's a hard life, with love in the world. and i'm a hard girl, loving me is like chewing on pearls.

Sometimes I get this gut feeling about people - maybe I sense a hidden agenda or that they care for the money more than the message. I wish that I'd listen to that feeling instead of waiting for the truth to rear its ugly head. I'm a smart girl. I'm loyal. But sometimes I'm too loyal. I'm not loyal enough to myself.

No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music. I shut it all off.
