A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist.

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.

Don't say I hate institutionalised religion - rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I'm saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.

I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.

Leather, high heels, and a bad attitude. Here I come.
