This is one image. This is one moment. This is one statement. ARTPOP.
Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.
Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are.
I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There’s no stopping. I didn’t create the fame, the fame created me.
It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.
You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself.
Look to yourself for the answer – stop calling your girlfriends and stop calling your mom – you know if it’s working or not, you either feel like a goddess or you don’t.
I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, “It’s OK to be sad.” I’ve been trained to love my darkness.
I’m encouraging you to know what you’re worth. And know that no matter who has more money in class, who has more stuff, who has a country house – nobody is worth more than anybody else.
Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once.
I don’t want to live in a country where a government decides if you were raped or not.
Ugly or pretty, personal tastes determine the limits of the look. “It’s a very thin line and it’s different for everyone. In the end, fashion is about catching people’s attention, whether it’s via extreme beauty of extreme ugliness. It’s up to us to decide if it works.
Those girls were there because someone told them they were ‘beautiful,’ but in high fashion, beautiful isn’t enough.
We need fantasy to survive reality.
Every year when i travel around the world, i wonder if it’ll be diferent, maybe one year won’t come to the show or you’ll be less festival, but what i realized during ARTPOP is that we belong together and some stories have no end. I will follow you around the world as long as you’ll have me because i love making music, i love making art and i love, love meeting all you beautiful, creative people“.
You were a perfect illusion.
Penster, Shallow from A Star is Born.
Po-po-po-poker face, po-po-poker face.
If you have a dream, fight for it. There’s a discipline for passion. And it’s not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down or you’re beaten up. It’s about how many times you stand up and are brave and you keep on going.
It’s important not to stare, but don’t you dare look away.
Baby, I was born this way.
