If I could for a moment just inspire you to love yourself, that would be worth EVERYTHING
Sweat it out then back home to my man to make dinner. #hausWife
Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men.
Hair is about when you're younger. I am my hair.
I already am a product.
No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music. I shut it all off.
Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint on my face. Sometimes I try really hard to take it all off. But inevitably what's underneath is still not a straight edge. And I don't think it ever will be.
'Born this Way' is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud.
I was changing my outfits, my looks, my wig, sometimes several times a day. That's when I know my soul is restless.
I think a lot of people love to convolute what everyone else does in order to disempower women.
When people say 'marriage' to me... It's always a means to an end. Everyone's so in a rush to define the relationship.
I've worked since I was a five-year-old to be a performer.
The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.
I actually don't want a throne at all, because I don't view myself as a queen; I view myself as one of my fans.
Some women chasing men, and some - for dreams. If you are at a fork, remember, your career will not wake up one morning to say that more does not love you.
I'm not a sandwich store that only sells turkey sandwiches. I sell a lot of different things.
I don't want to make niche-oriented music.
Don't judge anyone but don't trust anyone.
I want you to forget all your insecurities. I want you to reject anyone of anything that's ever made you feel like you don't belong or don't fit in or made you fell like you're not good enough or pretty enough or thin enough or can't sing well enough or dance well enough or write a song well enough or like you'll never win a Grammy or you'll never sell out Madison Square Garden, you just remember that you're a goddamn superstar and you were born this way!
People think I'm unusual but it's just that we haven't had anyone like this since the Seventies.
I used to be so delusional. I always imagined I could be more than I was, and eventually I grew and evolved into that person.
I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.
If you're laying in bed next to someone that really doesn't make you feel like the goddess that you are, you need to rediscover what it is that you truly want and need.
I write music every day.
I think it's absolutely a blessing when you just know what your purpose is and your destiny. I don't think it's a curse at all.
