We are not just Art for Michelangelo to carve, he can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart- Lady Gaga 10/22/10

A girl's just as hot as the shoes she choose

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.

I would stare into the bright lights and imagine I could do anything. Be anything. And I would tell myself it would be me up there one day.

I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. [Then] I went into the [dressing] room and shot my fear in the face.

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.'
