People Think I'm Unusual But It's Just

An Artist Is The Only Thing I Want To Be. I Only Want My Freedom And My Creativity. It's All That I Live For. I Reject The Idea That I Have To Take All The Costumes And Makeup Off To Be F - King Authentic.

I Would Stare Into The Bright Lights And Imagine I Could Do Anything. Be Anything. And I Would Tell Myself It Would Be Me Up There One Day.

To This Day, Some Of My Closest Friends Say, 'gaga, You Know, Everything's Great. You're A Singer; Your Dreams Have Come True.' But, Still, When Certain Things Are Said To You Over And Over Again As You're Growing Up, It Stays With You And You Wonder If They're True.

You Have To Be Careful About How Much You Reveal To People That Look Up To You So Much.

Well, In Order For Me To Be Successful... In Order To Be A Great Artist - Musician, Actor, Painter, Whatever - You Must Be Able To Be Private In Public At All Times.
