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.

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.

Where I come from it was really unheard of to be at a party and someone says, 'What kind of music do you make?', and you say, 'Pop music.' You may as well have 'I'm not cool' stamped on your forehead.

If anyone tells you that you can't achieve your dreams, or puts you down, make your hand into a claw and tell them you're a little monster and you can do whatever the f*** you want.

My new year's resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.

Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it.

Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.
