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.

You ought to pity me 'cause there's always one man to love/ But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough.

People will always talk, so lets give them sumthin to talk about

I think it's OK to be confident in yourself.

I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true

Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it's something that's reserved for only the people who are closest to me. It's not because I don't like my given name; it's that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is - you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.

I went out into the woods for a few days. I just disconnected from everything and allowed myself to be free and be human. Because, that's what makes you really good, if you can be vulnerable, if you can be vulnerable on stage.
