——A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage - what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ’I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.’

——It was my dad who pulled me back. I wanted to show my parents I was completely wild. My dad thought I’d lost it. He came to see me and told me if I didn’t pull back I would lose everything.

As a performer I’m outrageous and wild, but as a person I have a very strong moral code. To this day I feel guilt about what I put my parents through when I was younger. I’ll call my mother out of the blue and say, ‘Mom, I’m so sorry about what I did.’ They’re very proud of me today, but I wouldn’t have their pride if I hadn’t listened to them and told them I was sorry. It’s as important to acknowledge your mistakes as it is to get credit for your victories.

——I have a small bunch of really creative people who make up the Haus and they work with me on my sets, my costumes, my jewelery and the concept of GaGa.

—如果議員、總統(tǒng)始終堅(jiān)持“無(wú)可奉告”，那么他們是否應(yīng)該告訴我們，我們到底是在為誰(shuí)而戰(zhàn)?我們所納的稅到底是在服務(wù)誰(shuí)?美國(guó)的“平等”價(jià)值幾何?
