I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.
Interpretation
The quote emphasizes embracing and cherishing the hidden, deeper parts of ourselves, regardless of societal expectations.
In this quote, Lady Gaga advocates for the idea that both women and men should embrace and empower themselves by acknowledging and celebrating the more complex and often hidden aspects of their identities. Rather than feeling ashamed of these 'psychotic' or unconventional facets, individuals can find strength and empowerment by cherishing them, thus promoting a deeper self-acceptance and authenticity.

Whether I am meant to or not, I challenge assumptions about women. I do make some people uncomfortable, which I'm well aware of, but that's just part of coming to grips with what I believe is still one of the most important pieces of unfinished business in human history - empowering women to be able to stand up for themselves.
Empowering women is one of the most important things we - and indeed, every business - can do.
There's nothing women can't do. There's absolutely nothing we can't do. We're far stronger in a lot of ways than men. Way, way stronger than men. And that's my message to any woman I meet - that includes you - there's nothing you can't do, and you know that.
Never underestimate the power of a woman.
