When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby I was born to survive.

The fashion I've acquired over the years is so sacred to me - from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I've collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood. The clothes are on mannequins, also on hangers and in boxes with a photo of each piece, and there's a Web site where I can go to look through everything. It's too big - I could never sort through it myself! But these garments tell the stories of my life.

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

I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'

Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.

If love is a sin, live a lie. You and Me, until I die.
