Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

I am not perfect. I just think that imperfections are beautiful.

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.

I'm inspired by fashion. I'm inspired by the moonlight. I'm inspired by sex and pornography and slasher films.

It's been a very remarkable year, and I feel very blessed. I lived an isolated lifestyle before the media. I lived a life of solitude and loyalty and commitment to my work. I just don't prioritize my life in the same way that other people do. The only thing that matters is my music and my performance.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

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