I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didnt want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running. – Lady Gaga
I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song Radio Gaga. – Lady Gaga
I guess you could say I devoted myself so strongly to my music that for awhile I forgot about my family. But I only get one set of parents, and I think I forgot about that for a little while. – Lady Gaga
Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, Im really not worth being called an artist at all. – Lady Gaga
