Lady GagaPerez Hilton is brilliant to me. Because heโs taken something that people donโt think is valid, donโt think is important, and heโs made them obsessed with it. People are obsessed with him. Theyโre obsessed with his site, theyโre obsessed with what he does. They love him. They all love him. They love you, they hate you, what you donโt want is indifference. The day that I put a record out that nobody says a damn thing about, thatโs bad.

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.
Lady GagaI was changing my outfits, my looks, my wig, sometimes several times a day. That's when I know my soul is restless.
