I'm terrified of therapy because I don't want it to mess with my creativity.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.

In case you're wondering whether I lip synch, the answer is no... people think so because I sound so good.

Music changed my life. I don't know who I would be without it. Don't ignore even the smallest glimmer of passion in your soul, run towards it with everything you have. It could change your life.

My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.

Well, in order for me to be successful... In order to be a great artist - musician, actor, painter, whatever - you must be able to be private in public at all times.

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.
