“You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don’t love yourself.”

Dirty pony, I can’t wait to hose you down.

To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, ‘I was born this way baby.

I’m telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true

When I wake up in the morning, I feel like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say,’Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.

All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. Then I went into the dressing room and shot my fear in the face.

At the end of the day, you won’t be happy until you love yourself.

I’m obsessively opposed to the typical.

I’ve always believed in the power of makeup to elevate self-love.

I’d wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.

Never be afraid to dream.

And now, I’m just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time.

A record deal doesn’t make you an artist; you make yourself an artist

The scars on my mind are on replay.

You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.

Bare your struggles very close to your heart and have them be a part of you that you’re proud of instead of something that you’re ashamed of.

Just remember: I love you, and love yourselves. ’cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel like you’re less than, less than perfect.

I know I write too many love poems, and perhaps this is me admitting that the love inside me is still there somewhere, stagnant – but its a cruel addiction. I need a intervention.

I see myself through your eyes and I love what I see. So please never look way.

Teach boys that manhood is not determined by how often they hold back their tears.

There was a time when I loved you too much that it made me feel the darkest shades of blue. It’s been years now, but I’m seeing life in other colors again.

The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.

Though love might be gone, hope shall not be lost.

When we love all parts of ourselves, when we bless all of ourselves, when we honor all of our history and all of our insecurities, doubts, worries, and fears, we become the women that we always wanted to be.
