I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.

I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we've all heard about before.

Everyone can access the parts of themselves that are great. I'm just a girl from New York City who decided to do this, after all. Rule the world! What's life worth living if you don't rule it?

just remember: i love you, and love yourselves. 'cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.

It's always wrong to hate, but it's never wrong to love.

I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star.

Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.
