——A glamorous life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don’t need luxury. For years, I was practically broke but I was still very vain and glamorous. And I still am.
—生活的美麗與否與奢華無關，我不需要那些奢華。有好幾年我幾乎是徹底破產了，但是我依然驕傲依然美麗，我依然還是我。
——I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but I’ve made it my goal to revolutionise pop music. The last revolution was launched by Madonna 25 years ago.
—我不想這么霸氣的~ 但是我一直把“革新流行音樂”當成我的目標。上一次這么做的人是25年前的麥當娜。
——The turning point for me was the gay community. I’ve got so many gay fans and they’re so loyal to me and they really lifted me up. They’ll always stand by me and I’ll always stand by them. It’s not an easy thing to create a fanbase.
—同性戀群體給我帶來了我自身的一個轉折點。我有眾多的同志粉絲，他們對我那么忠心，他們的確捧紅了我。他們一直支持著我，我也一直支持他們。營造一個粉絲陣營不是那樣容易的。
——Paris and Nicky Hilton went to my school. They’re very pretty, and very, very clean. It’s impressive to be that perfect all the time. In commercial terms, they’ve been quite an influence on me.
—帕里斯和希爾頓是我的同學。她們非常漂亮，非常非常干凈。令人印象深刻的是她們可以時刻保持那種完美的樣子。在商業消費方面，她們給我的影響很大。
——I am really inspired by the Italians like Gabbana, Versace and Gucci. But I am looking it in that way and trying to make my own.
—意大利的加巴納、范思哲和古琦給了我極大的靈感，但是欣賞之余我一直努力創造我自己的風格。
——Some artists want your money so they can buy Range Rovers and diamond bracelets, but I don’t care about that kind of stuff. I want your soul.
— 一些藝人想要你的錢，這樣他們就能去買路虎攬勝和鉆石手鐲了，但我不要那些東西，我要你們的靈魂。
——Some women choose to follow a man and some others their dreams. In case that you wonder which way to follow, remember that your career won’t wake up one morning to say that he doesn’t love you.
— 一些女人選擇跟隨男人，另一些則選擇跟隨夢想。在你要決定要選哪條路時記住：你的事業是不會在某天早上醒來時告訴你，他不愛你了的。
——A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage - what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ’I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.’
— 一個女孩要發揮她被賦予的才能，我的錄影帶不會做的像布蘭妮的那樣美到讓男生流口水。我要挑戰一種極端。我不會說我在舞臺上穿的很性感——我所做的是挑戰極端，是要讓男生覺得：“我不知道這是叫性感呢還是古怪呢。”
——My grandmother is basically blind, but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair. She says, "I can see you, because you have no pants on." So I`ll continue to wear no pants so that my grandma can see me.
—我的祖母幾乎是已經失明了，但是她人能看到亮的地方，比如我的皮膚和頭發。她說：“我能看到你，因為你沒有穿褲子”所以我就繼續不穿褲子咯這樣祖母就能看到我了。
——The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous. Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.
—《THE FAME》想讓任何人都知道怎樣去感受自己的名聲濟濟。流行文化是一門藝術。說自己痛恨流行文化并不會讓你變得有多酷，所以我要讓《THE FAME》的流行文化將你們包圍。但是，名聲是可以分享的，我想邀請每個人都來到這個聚會上，我想讓每個人都覺得自己是這種生活方式里的一部分。
—— You asked me who Lady Gaga was, but even after I show you, you’re still not going to know who I really am.Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don’t really know me at all.
—你問我LadyGaga是誰，但即使我表現給你看，你還是不會知道我到底是誰…Lady Gaga是我的名字。如果你認識我還叫我Stefani，那說明你壓根就不了解我。
——I was completely mental and had just been through so much. I hit rock bottom, and it was enough to send a person over the edge. My mother knew the truth about that day, and she screamed so loud on the other end of the phone, I’ll never forget it. I cried. I told her I thought my life was over and I have no hope and I’ve worked so hard, and I knew I was good. What would I do now? And she said, ‘I’m gonna let you cry for a few more hours. And then after those few hours are up, you’re gonna stop crying, you’re gonna pick yourself up, you’re gonna go back to New York, and you’re gonna kick some ass.
—那時我剛經歷過那么多，精神完全崩潰。我跌倒了谷底，那足以把一個人逼入絕境。我媽媽知道后在電話那頭尖叫著的情形我永遠也忘不了，我哭著，告訴她我覺得自己的人生完了沒有希望了盡管我那么努力的工作我知道我的優秀。我該怎么辦?她說：“我給你幾個小時的時間哭，時間到了你不準再哭，你要振作起來，你要重回紐約，你要回去反擊”
——It was my dad who pulled me back. I wanted to show my parents I was completely wild. My dad thought I’d lost it. He came to see me and told me if I didn’t pull back I would lose everything. That completely shook me, because even though I wanted to rebel, my parents are the people I respect most in this world. I didn’t want to lose my father’s respect, so I stopped. As a performer I’m outrageous and wild, but as a person I have a very strong moral code. To this day I feel guilt about what I put my parents through when I was younger. I’ll call my mother out of the blue and say, ‘Mom, I’m so sorry about what I did.’ They’re very proud of me today, but I wouldn’t have their pride if I hadn’t listened to them and told them I was sorry. It’s as important to acknowledge your mistakes as it is to get credit for your victories.
—是我的爸爸把我從叛逆里拉回來了，我曾想給我父母看我是狂野的。我爸爸認為我完全迷失了，他來看我并告訴我如果我不停止，那我將失去一切，那完全嚇到我了，因為即便我想要叛逆，但我不想失去我父親的尊敬——我的父母是我這個世界上最敬重的人。所以我停止了。作為一個表演者，我狂野不羈，但作為一個個人，我有自己嚴格的道德尺度。直到今天，我仍對年輕時給父母造成了那么多麻煩而感到愧疚。我要立刻打給我媽媽告訴她：“媽媽，我對我曾經的所作所為感到抱歉”現在他們非常引我為傲，但是如果當年我沒聽他們的話沒表達我的歉意，那今日我就不會是他們的驕傲了。承認自己的錯誤很重要，這給你已有的勝利增加信譽。
——I have a small bunch of really creative people who make up the Haus and they work with me on my sets, my costumes, my jewelery and the concept of GaGa. It’s my team and we come up with crazy ideas and make them happen. I do make a lot of money, but I don’t want to own flash cars; I want to make Lady GaGa the biggest star in the world, and that takes a lot of work and creativity.
—我的工作室里聚集了一大批充滿創造力的人，他們一起創作我的套裝、服飾、珠寶飾物以及"Gaga"這個概念。這是我的團隊，我們想瘋狂的主意并且實現它們。我是賺很多錢，但我不要豪車，我要把“ Lady GaGa”打造成世界上最大牌的明星，這需要很多工作和很多創造力。
——Fight and push harder for what you believe in, you’d be surprised, you are much stronger than you think.
—為你所信仰的東西戰斗，更努力一點，你會驚訝的發現你比自己認為的強大的多!
——For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I’m doing, the more I want to give back to them.
—對有些人來說，名聲變得比音樂和表演更重要。但對我來說，名聲就如同火箭的燃料。越多的粉絲喜歡我所做的，我就越想做更多來回報他們。
——I want my fans to know I’m there for them. I want them to see every part of me. I am never going to leave them
—我想讓我的粉絲知道我一直在這守護他們。我想讓他們看到我的每一面。我永遠不會離開他們。
——When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year old girl. Then I say,’Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.
—當我早上醒來時，我和其他24歲的女孩一樣有著那些不安全感，然后我會對自己說“Bitch,你是Lady Gaga啊，你要爬起來然后做你自己。”
——I want to have a husband who loves and supports me, just the way anyone else does, I am a very sentimental person and family is important to me.
—我和其他人和人一樣希望有個愛我支持我的丈夫，我是一個感性的人，家庭對我來說很重要。
——I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There’s no stopping. I didn’t create the fame, the fame created me.
—我專注于工作，我一直在創作。我是個很忙的女孩。我靠著工作生活和呼吸。我愛我所做的事。我相信我相信的東西。永不停止。我不制造名聲，是名聲造就了我。
——I am beautiful in my way,’cause God makes no mistakes!I am on the right track.Baby,I was Born This Way!
—我就是這樣美麗，因為上帝從不會出錯，我所做的是正確的，因為親愛的，我生來如此!
——I don’t care if my fans love me,I care if they love themselves.
—我不在乎我的粉絲是否愛我，我在乎的是他們是否愛自己。
——If the senate and the president are not going to repeal this’don’t ask, don’t tell.’policy, perhaps they should be more clear with us about who the military is fighting for, who our tax dollars are supporting and, ultimately, how much does the prime rib cost?
—如果議員、總統始終堅持“無可奉告”，那么他們是否應該告訴我們，我們到底是在為誰而戰?我們所納的稅到底是在服務誰?美國的“平等”價值幾何?
——If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones.
—如果我們不能為自己的信念站出來，不能為自己的權益奮斗，那么久而久之，我們能獲得的權利不過我們骨頭上的一堆肉。
