At the end of the day, who I really and truly am is a little girl who loved to play the piano.
It was my delusion and naivety that brought me here.

In the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it.

I feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.
I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.
I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.
