Lady Gaga

I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.

I wanted to only create a great perfume, not any perfume that would sell, but a great artistic one that the fans would not feel cheated by.

I really wanted to break the mold of what modern touring is right now.

There is spontaneity to my work.

I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.

It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

When you're around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it's not strange, it's just Gaga.

If this were all to go away tomorrow, all the big success, I would still be very happy going from bar to bar playing music for people.

I'm working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.

It's hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don't always know who to call. So I am very close to my family.

I don't know that you can put a label on growth. I'm just me.
