My talent matters more to me than the money does.

I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.

I just want to keep writing music.

I was performing in New York and my friends started to call me Gaga. They said I was very theatrical... So they said, you're Gaga.

I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.

I’m going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.

My mama told me when I was young we're all born SUPERSTARS!
