Lady Gaga

I miss people. I miss going anywhere and meeting a random person and saying 'Hi' and having a conversation about life. I love people.

I've had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.

I always have been an activist for things that were just authentically a part of my life, that I felt connected to.

My whole life is a theater piece.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go - that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life.

The blurring of fantasy and reality is something that the Japanese herald in their life, in their day-to-day commercialism.

I am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.

I don't like celebrities; I don't hang out with them; I don't relate to that life.

I don't see myself in terms of artifice. I see myself as a real person who chooses to live my life in an open way - artistically.

I don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.

The kindness that's been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it's really saved my life.
