Love is like a brick. You can build a house, or you can sink a dead body.

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

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 fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.

Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it.

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

I'm a little bit naked, but that's okay.

I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.

Don't be a drag.Just be a queen.

My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.

I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.

My new album that I'm creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I've developed getting to know my fans. They protect me, so now it's my destiny to protect them.

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

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

Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother fucker's reflection.

For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing.

Alice is fictional. This isn't.

Being gay is like glitter, it never goes away.

I've always been famous, it's just no one knew it yet.
