Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men.

In my show I announce, 'People say Lady Gaga is a lie, and they are right. I am a lie. And every day I kill to make it true.'

I realized that it's my own fault that people take advantage of me. I should be around people who cherish my talents, my health, my time. I'm not a pawn for anyone's future business. I'm an artist. I deserve better than to be loyal to people who only believe in me because I make money.

When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That's how little I own.

There is a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I'm really hoping that it's soon.

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

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.
