'Born this Way' is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud.

Its oke to be sad. I've been trained to love my darkness

I feel like if you're a really good human being, you can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what.

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.

I'm working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.

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.

I went out into the woods for a few days. I just disconnected from everything and allowed myself to be free and be human. Because, that's what makes you really good, if you can be vulnerable, if you can be vulnerable on stage.
