When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.

I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you - when life opens that door for you, I should say - I think it's important to be giving, to return the love back.

Celebrate all the things you don't like about yourself. love yourself.

I don't wanna be alone forever but I can be tonight.

Being gay is like glitter, it never goes away.

I went to a lovely school, and I got an incredible education. And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, 'cause I'm very smart.

I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'
