I've always been famous, it's just no one knew it yet.

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.

The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.

I'm really happy and had such an amazing time performing at Super Bowl - wish I could relive it all over again.

My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.

Its oke to be sad. I've been trained to love my darkness.
