I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, 'It's OK to be sad.' I've been trained to love my darkness.

Live your eyeliner, breathe your lipstick.

Help me hold my hair back walk me home 'cause I can't find a cab. And we dance down the bowery held hands like we were 17 again. And then it's 4am.The sun is creepin' up again. Don't you leave me,oh, darling don't you leave me.

Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it’s broken, but you can still see the crack in that m——r’s reflection.

I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true.

Some women choose to follow men, and some choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.

You love the paparazzi, love the fame. Even you know it causes me pain.

For being different, it's easy. But to be unique, it's a complicated thing.

Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.

I don't know if it's changing already with 'Joanne,' but my intention is to bring people together that don't know each other and that would maybe feel awkward, but somehow be brought together by the music. That's what I wanted to do. Because that is pure and authentic to my family history and what I stand for.
