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

I want you to walk out of here tonight not loving me more, but loving yourselves more.

It’s hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don’t always know who to call.

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.

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.

Believing in grace is one thing. Living it is another.

It is never the case that I will push myself more for the World Championships and play differently in a Super Series or vice-versa.

Be different, to achieve big.

Today 70% of the people are found sad, just because they don’t think before they speak. And they later realize if they would have told something different instead of that. Always think before you speak.

When you start to have success, people look at you differently and expect more from you. With that comes a lot of pressure to perform, so it can be a little overwhelming.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

It’s a little different when you spend 30 years developing all these companies that we just ask [Donald Trump] to sell them. So I don’t think that’s a fair request.

I don’t think I am a star; I consider myself like any other girl who is of my age. Others may be working in office and doing different jobs. Similarly I don’t think I am doing something different. I am also working.
