Lady Gaga

If you're a strong female, you don't need permission.

I used to get bullied by the popular girls at school. Today, I am the popular girl, and the bullies come to my shows.

Money can run out but talent is forever

In my show I announce, 'People say Lady Gaga is a lie, and they are right. I am a lie. And every day I kill to make it true.'

The most important thing about creativity is that you honor your creativity and you don't ever ignore it or go against what that creative image is telling you.

You can’t stop my voice cause _x000D_ You don't own my life but _x000D_ Do what you want (with my body)

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

Prejudice is a disease. So is fashion. But I will not wear prejudice.

I live between fantasy and reality at all times. In that way, I’m a librarian.

I do not accept any less than someone just as real, as fabulous!

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.

When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

The only thing that I am concerned with in life is being an artist .. I had to suppress for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I'm completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like.

I would stare into the bright lights and imagine I could do anything. Be anything. And I would tell myself it would be me up there one day.

My talent matters more to me than the money does.

Even if the whole world turns their back on you, you will always have yourself.

I’m going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.

This means more to me than any Grammy I could ever win ... It will take a village and an army, [some] countries and continents to make bullying a hate crime.

Everyone can access the parts of themselves that are great. I'm just a girl from New York City who decided to do this, after all. Rule the world! What's life worth living if you don't rule it?

Tonight love and hate met in St. Louis. And love outnumbered the hate, in poetic thousands. Hate left. But love stayed. + Together, we sang.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.
