Lady Gaga on being proposed to after a breakup:

“How f***ing romantic. Sure, pop a ring on my finger and make it all better. I can buy myself a f***ing ring.”

Lady Gaga on her talent and relationships:

“If I go to the piano and write a quick song and play it back, they are angry with how fast and effortless it is. That’s who I am, and I don’t apologize for it. But it’s a hideous place to be in when someone that you love has convinced you that you will never be good enough for anyone. I had a man say to me, ‘You will die alone in a house bigger than you know, with all your money and hit records, and you will die alone.’”

Lady Gaga on moments of self-doubt:

“Even though I know it sounds a bit Hallmark, whenever I [was] in that kind of stressful, worthless moment, I would think, I’ll show you.’”

Lady Gaga on dating people who are intimidated by her:

“I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it’s my mind.”

Here are some bits and pieces of Lady Gaga’s Harper’s Bazaar interview.

On her body image: “I’m very free-spirited,” she says. “Even when I was a kid, I used to run around naked with the babysitter, driving her crazy.” She attributes her body confidence to dancing, and “I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy. You know, my work sort of feeds me. I keep in shape by working hard.”

On spending time on her own, due to her travel schedule: “When you’re alone as much as I am,” she observes, “you become accustomed to your solitude and embrace it.”

On taking up surfing, which she tried for the first time on a two-day vacation to Mexico in August: “I fell off a lot in the beginning,” she says, “but one of the surfers said to me, ‘Now that you can stand up, just look into the future and enjoy the ride.’ I thought that was an interesting metaphor about life.”
