You have to fail and then get better. Then you have to fail again, and then get even better.

I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff.

Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.

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.

Being different is a talent. You illuminate what makes you special in the sea of sameness around you.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go - that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.
