I think that once you've had a few No. 1s in your career that you've kind of proven yourself and I don't feel the need to prove anything anymore.

Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.

You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself.

If you’re going through a dark time... don’t ever give up. You can always make your way back to the other end of that circle and find your happiness again.

Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.

A year from now, I could go away, and people might say, 'Gosh, what ever happened to that girl who never wore pants?' But how wonderfully memorable 30 years from now, when they say, 'Do you remember Gaga and her bubbles?' Because, for a minute, everybody in that room will forget every sad, painful thing in their lives, and they'll just live in my bubble world.

Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life.
