I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of โgrisโ. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see.
Lady GagaMy fans are who I am. You give meaning to my life. You will never know the connection I feel to you.
Lady GagaIn case you're wondering whether I lip synch, the answer is no... people think so because I sound so good.
Lady GagaThe instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.
Lady GagaEvery video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life.
Lady GagaLove is an interesting thing. Perhaps I've never been in love before - I don't really know? I think I have. I guess it's subjective in that way.
Lady GagaIn the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it.
Lady GagaI actually don't want a throne at all, because I don't view myself as a queen; I view myself as one of my fans.
Lady GagaBare your struggles very close to your heart and have them be a part of you that youโre proud of instead of something that youโre ashamed of.
Lady GagaSome people are just born stars โ you either have it or you havenโt, and I was definitely born one.
Lady GagaI don't view myself as outrageous - that's not the intention. Its to be more and more original.
Lady GagaThere's no way to convince people of your greatness. Whatever it is that you want to be, you have to know it inside and knife-fight your way to your dream.
Lady GagaBe brave and celebrate with us your 'perceived flaws,' as society tells us. May we make our flaws famous, and thus redefine the heinous.
Lady GagaMore education for women. More jobs for women. More equal opportunities for women. More women to be taken seriously. And I think more than anything we wish to be heard and not to be shut down. I think this is a good thing to think about for any community; what is important is that our voices be heard and not swallowed in an abyss of history.
Lady GagaWhat I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
Lady GagaIn fact, the Alejandro video...is a celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, and their love for one another, their courage in their relationships.
Lady GagaSometimes 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.
Lady GagaI went to see 'Phantom of the Opera' with my grandma and my mom when I was very little. The stage, the voice, the music?... Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been a massive inspiration to me for some time - the storytelling, that deliciously somber undertone in his music.
Lady GagaI feel like if you're a really good human being, you can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what.
Lady GagaKnowing that I inspired SAM SMITH is one of the most powerful experiences I've had as an artist. I was Sam. I still am Sam.
Lady GagaI had My Little Ponies. I was obsessed with the idea of a creature that was born with something magical that sort of made them the misfit in the world of the stallion. Iโm actually quite obsessed with unicorns. They are in essence a mythical creature. The unicorn is born magical and itโs not the unicornโs fault and it doesnโt make it any more or less special or any less unique but it canโt help that it was born with that magic.
Lady GagaBeing a woman in the pop world, sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What's the line? I don't have a line. I am the most sexually free woman on the planet, and I genuinely am empowered from a very honest place by my sexuality. What's more primal than sex? I mean, it's so honest. If I didn't think I had the talent to back that up, I wouldn't have done it.
Lady GagaI'm terrified of babies I think, creatively as a woman, you change once you give birth. I'm totally not ready for that.
Lady GagaMoney is completely boring to me. It means nothing, except it feeds my art. Every penny I make goes back into the Haus of GaGa. My Haus of GaGa is something like Andy Warhol's Factory.
Lady GagaYou can be whoever you choose to become in the future, just do it. Just see it and visualize it and every day of your life project that about yourself.
Lady GagaIt's funny when people say they see a lot of Madonna in me. I just feel so flattered because I love her and I am just her biggest fan. She is very strong. I love the way she does interviews -you know you won't get anything past her.
Lady GagaI wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.
Lady GagaI know people said I wasn't selling out in America, but that was entirely untrue. We sold out all over the world, and every night I looked out into the fans and those front rows that you're talking about, the tears, the honesty, the inability to not be completely overjoyed because they felt accepted.
Lady GagaIf you are not being bullied all I would say - cause I like to talk about the other side of it as well - is you know, be someone that nurtures, and if there's someone in your class that maybe doesn't have a lot of friends, be the person that sits with them in the cafeteria sometimes; be the bigger person.
