'Born this Way' is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud.
I don't see myself in terms of artifice. I see myself as a real person who chooses to live my life in an open way - artistically.
I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.
In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.
I'm doing everything that I can, working with experts, really studying the statistics to figure out a way we can make it cool or normal to be kind and loving.
I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.
The way that I sing, what I sing about, what I wear, who I am, this is me. I was born this way.
I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don't live my life in the way someone like you does. I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans.
Don't say I hate institutionalised religion - rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I'm saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.
I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.
You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.
I live between fantasy and reality at all times. In that way, I’m a librarian.
Equality cannot be reached if fought in a divisive way.
Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses because we were born this way.
To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, 'I was born this way baby.
