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

Joanne' is a progression for me. It was about going into the studio and forgetting that I was famous.

I've had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.

My apartment is my stage, and my bedroom is my stage - they're just not stages you're allowed to see.

Being different is a talent. You illuminate what makes you special in the sea of sameness around you.

We wanted to make something that sounded perfect because of the quality of the emotion...the honesty.

Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once.

My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.

I love my daddy. My daddy's everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad.

just remember: i love you, and love yourselves. 'cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.

If you were to ask me what I want to do - I don't want to be a celebrity, I want to make a difference.

I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.

Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life.

I believe that if you have revolutionary potential, you must make the world a better place and use it.

I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way.

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

I was always trying - I never wanted to let my fans down; I always wanted them to see me in my art form.

cause it's a hard life, with love in the world. and i'm a hard girl, loving me is like chewing on pearls.

I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true

Making your dad happy is - especially for an Italian Catholic girl, I'll tell you - it feels really good.

I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.

In case you're wondering whether I lip synch, the answer is no... people think so because I sound so good.

A middle finger is more New York than a corporate ambush. I bleed for my hometown, and I'd die for my fans.

There is a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I'm really hoping that it's soon.

O, say does that star-spangled flag of pride yet wave? O'er the land of the free, and the home for the gay!

I dont really ever compare myself to other people, I dont even measure myself in terms of anyone but myself.

I just genuinely feel that that's what you do when you're an artist: You stick up for the people around you.

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

No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby I was born to survive.

I believe in the spirit of equality and the spirit of this country as one of love and compassion and kindness.

I want my fans to know I'm there for them. I want them to see every part of me. I am never going to leave them.

There are some people in this world that believe being gay is a choice. It's not a choice, we're born this way.

I'm really happy and had such an amazing time performing at Super Bowl - wish I could relive it all over again.

I 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.

We are not just Art for Michelangelo to carve, he can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart- Lady Gaga 10/22/10

I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of “gris”. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see.

I’m not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f*** off.

I always say, you gotta play a dive bar like you play an arena, and you play an arena like you play a dive bar.

I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times. It's best not to ask questions and just enjoy.

The kindness that's been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it's really saved my life.

The darkness, the loop of negative thoughts on repeat, clamours and interferes with the music I hear in my head.

Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.

Don't hide yourself in regret, Just love yourself and you're set I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way

I'm not a feminist. I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars.

So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.

You ought to pity me 'cause there's always one man to love/ But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough.

You define beauty for yourself, society doesn’t define your beauty. Your spirit and your faith defines your beauty.

I always have been an activist for things that were just authentically a part of my life, that I felt connected to.

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

I don't feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy.
