Quotes:
"Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside."
"I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times."
"I feel like if you're a really good human being, you can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what."
"I've been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms."
"I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star."
"I was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me."
"Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men."
"Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad."
"If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next."
"Tell me somethin' girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more"
- Shallow by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper
