I would rather die than have my fans see me without a pair of heels on. And that's show business.

Sometimes I get this gut feeling about people - maybe I sense a hidden agenda or that they care for the money more than the message. I wish that I'd listen to that feeling instead of waiting for the truth to rear its ugly head. I'm a smart girl. I'm loyal. But sometimes I'm too loyal. I'm not loyal enough to myself.

Love is an interesting thing.

Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint on my face. Sometimes I try really hard to take it all off. But inevitably what's underneath is still not a straight edge. And I don't think it ever will be.

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 guess you could say it's always been my destiny to be a performer.

I'm a little bit naked, but that's okay.
