I dont really ever compare myself to other people, I dont even measure myself in terms of anyone but myself.
I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
I adored Freddie Mercury and Queen had a hit called Radio Gaga. That's why I love the name. Freddie was unique - one of the biggest personalities in the whole of pop music. He was not only a singer but also a fantastic performer, a man of the theatre and someone who constantly transformed himself. In short: a genius.
I take medication every day for mental illness and depression and don't feel bad about it.
I'm able to laugh now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy to heal over the years, my music's been wonderful for me. But I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19, so ... I went to Catholic school and all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?' I was very naive.
Making ziti for the Chicago Fire Department! I hope they're not too busy today, but this should fill their bellies I hope they like it!
The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.
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 live in Hollywood, but you can't make me love Hollywood. I'll never love Hollywood.
I spend my money on my props and my creations. I'm an inventor.
I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn't fit in, and I felt like a freak.
For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven'tslept for three days.
When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That's how little I own.
