I’m secure in who I am. I don’t need the validation of those that would say, you have to be a certain thing in order to be accepted. I’m comfortable going against the grain if I need to.
Feeling like you’re respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.
That moment when you realize not everyone is going to like you, it’s a nice one.
When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.
No matter how much success you have, no matter how many opportunities, fame, fortune, no matter how many accept you to your face, the person that really needs to accept you is you.
Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.
