I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it's my mind.

I started out playing in clubs. I always like existing under ground and over ground at the same time.

When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That's how little I own.

I don't want to be remembered as anything but brave. The only good intention to make money is to help others. I want to be Oprah. I want to be Melinda Gates. If I ever sell products other than my talents, then it will be to give more to others.

I don't think that women need to smell interesting.

I believe in a glamorous life, and I live a glamorous life.

My father [Joe Germanotta] opened a restaurant. It's so amazing... it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there.
