Lady Gaga

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.

My apartment is my stage, and my bedroom is my stage - they're just not stages you're allowed to see.

There really is no difference between the bully and the victim.

I was so ashamed of who I was.

I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

My mom and I are very close.

The dieting wars have got to stop.

Sometimes I think that there's a fine line between impressionistic and messy.

It was my delusion and naivety that brought me here.

I don't like talking to celebrities.

I hope when I'm dead I'll be considered an icon, though.
