I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***** deli without hearing or seeing me.'

I spend my money on my props and my creations. I'm an inventor.

The whole world may not understand me, but I don’t care.

'Born this Way' is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud.

Fight and push harder for what you believe in, you'd be surprised, you are much stronger than you think.

You must always remember, the most important fashion accessory is the condom.

All you care about is how punk rock you feel when you wake up in the morning.
