Views and Quotes by Gaga“What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous”

“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. So I am very close to my family”

“I live halfway between reality and theatre at all times. And I was born this way.”

“Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside.” “When I wake up in the

morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl.”

The first quote has deeper meaning than just the writing. It’s saying that even if you don’t have people following you around through your day to day life you can still be famous in someone else's eyes, like a parent for example. The second quote is quoted from her second album of ‘Born This Way’ in 2011. This quote symbolises how Gaga doesn’t care about what people think of her as she was “born that way” and can’t change the way she acts. The third quote relates to paparazzi and the media as she talks about how she can’t trust certain people with her personal life as the media can twist it and turn it against her. She also talks about how she would prefer to talk to her family meaning that she is a caring person and cherishes the ones closest to her. Her fourth quote is very symbolic and has a deep meaning of it. This is because throughout her life she has been singled out for being different and unique but now she is stating that she is no different to any other person. Finally, the fifth quote relates to normal every day to day feelings that a women would have. Nowadays insecurity is a big thing with women and girls meaning ta by saying she feels like a normal 24-year old women she is insinuating that just because she’s famous doesn’t mean she has different emotions.
