Pop stars should not eat.
A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist.
I think it's OK to be confident in yourself.
Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.
I love Tokio Hotel and their music, their makeup, their hairstyles and their subtlety.
Love is an interesting thing.
I guess you could say it's always been my destiny to be a performer.
I can't even drive a car. I don't have a driver's license. I have a rented apartment in New York. That's it. When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That's how little I own.
Prejudice is a disease. So is fashion. But I will not wear prejudice.
I study everything that I do to become better all the time at my craft. The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die because I'm not obsessed with material things and don't care about the money and don't care about the attention of the public but only the love of my fans. For me it's about keeping the dream alive of how much more devoted, how much more honest, how much better of an artist can I become? That's the only fear that I ever have, that the dream will die.
My "home" is a controversial topic. I don't exactly have one. I live all over the world.
People want you to fail.
There is no oil so thick as to destroy the imagination.
For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven'tslept for three days.
There really is no difference between the bully and the victim.
Basically I can't sleep without every single song I'm writing repeating endlessly, but I'm loving it again. Embracing the torture, as I'm assaulted by my own thoughts. Like a locust giving birth to earworms. Eeeeew!
The whole point of what I do - the monster ball, the music, the performance art aspect of it, I wanna create a space for my fans where they can feel free and they can celebrate because I didn't fit in in high school and I felt like a freak, so I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with and they don't feel alone.
I don't want the 5 dollars in your pocket, I want your soul
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.
And don't worry, if I get thrown in jail in Manila, Beyonce will just bail me out. Sold out night 2 in the Philippines. I love it here!
I went out into the woods for a few days. I just disconnected from everything and allowed myself to be free and be human. Because, that's what makes you really good, if you can be vulnerable, if you can be vulnerable on stage.
I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I'm gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it's gay. And I love my gay fans, and they're all going to be coming to our show. And it's going to remain gay.
Gaga and Stefani are my nicknames. I guess when people meet me for the first time and call me Stefani, it bothers me. Because it's something that's reserved for only the people who are closest to me. It's not because I don't like my given name; it's that I became somebody else. I became somebody else for a reason, you know. This is part of what my message is - you can become whoever you want to be, to escape your past.
I love my daddy. My daddy's everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad.
My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.
