What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope. It is not a reflection of all religious people.

Some of us wear the mask prouder than others.

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’m not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f*** off.

It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.

I do not have to be high to be great. I do not have to be drunk to have a good idea. I can sit with my thoughts and not feel crazy. I can do it... I can do it without the dope.

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!
