Lady Gaga

I like pushing boundaries.

Madonna and I are very different. Just saying. We're very different. I wouldn't make that comparison at all, and I don't mean to disrespect Madonna: she's a nice lady, and she's had a fantastic, huge career - biggest pop star of all time.

I began singing in dive bars and really small clubs. I dragged my piano down the stairs, and I went down the street with my keyboard, and I would go to every different dive bar that I could get to agree to let me play. I'd call and pretend I was Lady Gaga's manager.

I'm not a sandwich store that only sells turkey sandwiches. I sell a lot of different things.

I spend my money on my props and my creations. I'm an inventor.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

You shouldn't have to have money to have a luxury fragrance.

I don't care about money.

I don't want to make money; I want to make a difference.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.

I'm drawn to bad romances.
