I Live Halfway Between Reality And Theater

Love Is An Interesting Thing.

Gaga And Stefani Are My Nicknames. I Guess When People Meet Me For The First Time And Call Me Stefani, It Bothers Me. Because It's Something That's Reserved For Only The People Who Are Closest To Me. It's Not Because I Don't Like My Given Name; It's That I Became Somebody Else. I Became Somebody Else For A Reason, You Know. This Is Part Of What My Message Is - You Can Become Whoever You Want To Be, To Escape Your Past.

To This Day, Some Of My Closest Friends Say, 'gaga, You Know, Everything's Great. You're A Singer; Your Dreams Have Come True.' But, Still, When Certain Things Are Said To You Over And Over Again As You're Growing Up, It Stays With You And You Wonder If They're True.

More Education For Women. More Jobs For Women. More Equal Opportunities For Women. More Women To Be Taken Seriously. And I Think More Than Anything We Wish To Be Heard And Not To Be Shut Down. I Think This Is A Good Thing To Think About For Any Community; What Is Important Is That Our Voices Be Heard And Not Swallowed In An Abyss Of History.

I Don't Like Los Angeles. The People Are Awful And Terribly Shallow, And Everybody Wants To Be Famous But Nobody Wants To Play The Game. I'm From New York. I Will Kill To Get What I Need.
