It's funny when people say they see a lot of Madonna in me. I just feel so flattered because I love her and I am just her biggest fan. She is very strong. I love the way she does interviews -you know you won't get anything past her.

Men weren't always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

Some people are just born stars – you either have it or you haven’t, and I was definitely born one.

I feel like if you're a really good human being, you can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what.

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

It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.

I study everything that I do to become better all the time at my craft. The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die because I'm not obsessed with material things and don't care about the money and don't care about the attention of the public but only the love of my fans. For me it's about keeping the dream alive of how much more devoted, how much more honest, how much better of an artist can I become? That's the only fear that I ever have, that the dream will die.
