1. On Accepting Yourself

Out of all the Lady Gaga quotes, this one is my favorite. It is a great reminder that we all have dark spots in our lives. It can be hard to put yourself out there and let yourself shine because people are more likely to see the flaws we try to hide. However, Lady Gaga makes us realize that the fear of our shadows is no reason to avoid the light. Everyone has a past, but it’s important to leave it behind you, just like your shadow.

2. On Potential

I am a firm believer of the phrase “if you can dream it, you can be it.” Gaga expands upon this sentiment in this quote. If you want something badly enough, let it consume you, and often you can make your delusion a reality. Keeping yourself focused on your goals is the best way to achieve them.

3. On Not Giving Up

These lyrics from Lady Gaga’s hit “Marry the Night” are inspiration for anyone going through a rough time. If you are feeling down about yourself, life, or a current situation, don’t give up. Just as importantly, be sure you are giving yourself plenty of self-affirmation. We all have a “warrior queen” inside of us waiting to come to the surface.

4. On Insecurities

There are many wonderful and uplifting quotes from Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball tour, but the one above is my favorite. Unfortunately in life, we will all be told we aren’t good enough to achieve our goals. In this quote, Gaga reminds us of the importance of not listening to those who only want to put us down. Clear the bad out of your life and just focus on the good. Most importantly, remember you ARE a superstar and you WERE born this way!

5. On Self-Acceptance

This short and sweet quote is one of my mantras for life. Life is too short to live up to others' expectations. Everyone is an individual, and if you let your uniqueness shine, you are destined to become the best you that you can be. Lady Gaga lives this advice every day. She created her own path in the music industry and has forever changed the game.

6. On Being Single

This quote is a lyric from Lady Gaga’s song "Gypsy" from her album ARTPOP. The album is packed full of great quotes, but this one really hit home for me. Being single can be hard, but there is also beauty in it. The song is about living a gypsy life and holding out for that special someone.

7. On Feminism

“If you’re a strong female, you don’t need permission” is a quote from Lady Gaga’s song "Scheiße." The song is all about female empowerment. This is something I think we can all get behind. You don’t need to answer to any man in your life. If your partner makes you ask permission before you do something, it is not a healthy relationship. Stand up for yourself and be empowered, just like Lady Gaga.

8. On Love and Hate

This Lady Gaga quote is one of my all-time favorites. I like to think about this quote whenever I’m making decisions. It’s always important to act out of love and what’s good as opposed to doing things out of hate. Practicing this sentiment will make everyone feel better, including yourself.

9. On Independence

Sometimes it feels like everyone has abandoned you and you are on your own. This quote from Lady Gaga helps us remember that that’s okay because you will always have your biggest supporter: yourself. Only you can make your dreams come true, so it’s important to build up confidence and independence.
