Lady Gaga

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go - that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

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

I think that once you've had a few No. 1s in your career that you've kind of proven yourself and I don't feel the need to prove anything anymore.

You 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.

Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What’s the line? I don’t have a line.

I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream. It's not an underground tool for me. It's my whole life.

I think it is very important to join the fight against AIDS and HIV and think it is wonderful that Belvedere and Annabel's are supporting, and had this event this evening.

It's an endless proving of myself, that I really am a musician, that I have something to offer in the room. That women can be musicians, women can be rock stars, women can be more than an objectified idea of a pop star.

You have to fail and then get better. Then you have to fail again, and then get even better.

Don't be insecure, if your heart is pure

I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one.

If you’re going through a dark time... don’t ever give up. You can always make your way back to the other end of that circle and find your happiness again.

Pop culture was in art _x000D_ Now, art's in pop culture in me

I´m not a wandering slave, I am a woman of choice

Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.

Men weren't always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

If I could for a moment just inspire you to love yourself, that would be worth EVERYTHING

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

I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There's no stopping. I didn't create the fame, the fame created me.

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