I’m going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.

The statement is that I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time.

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

I'm always trying to create something that the fans won't expect.

I'm terrified of therapy because I don't want it to mess with my creativity.

I am the excuse to explore your identity. To be exactly who you are and to feel unafraid. To not judge yourself, to not hate yourself.

I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.
