I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.

Do you know the feeling, when your heart is so hurt, that you could feel the blood dripping?

Only I can snatch my own weave

I'm supposed to be, I am an artist. Yes, I'm lonely. But I'm married to my loneliness.

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.

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.

I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft-spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind-controlling about the way we're taught to view women.
