You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.

I put my flaws on front street. So the world accepted my flaws, so I don’t have any flaws.

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else’s ideas about you, but what’s important is how you feel about yourself – for survival and living day to day with what comes up.

I kept a diary right after I was born. Day 1: Tired from the move. Day 2: Everyone thinks I’m an idiot.

I don’t like being alone.

I have never given adoration to any body except myself.

I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.

My friends, there are no friends.

Honestly, I could care less about other people’s opinions about me.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.

Yes, some people say to me you’re too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.

Wives are young men’s mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men’s nurses.

When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty.

I may be no better, but at least I am different.

You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that’s your body.

I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.

I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn’t, then why would you say I am.

There isn’t anybody that looks like me without clothes on.

Mature love is composed and sustaining; a celebration of commitment, companionship, and trust.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

I don’t have a problem with ageing – in fact, I embrace that aspect of it. And am able to and obviously am going to be able to quite easily… it doesn’t faze me at all.

I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.

The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.

Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.

Love other human beings as you would love yourself.

Deficiency motivation doesn’t work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

I am what I am. A fighter.

Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.

You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

I’m not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I’m seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me.

I love imperfections.

We all self-conscious. I’m just the first to admit it.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication – it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness – it is all that I have – and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

When you realize who you live for, and who’s important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I’m gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it – and I lived it for me.

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

‚Born this Way‘ is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud.

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.

I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.

I love to be alone, and I did as a child as well, especially if I was outside.

Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone’s singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. That’s the only way I can find an explanation for why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing.

If you are lonely when you’re alone, you are in bad company.

It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

I don’t want to be called a point guard, but I can’t stop it.

Whatever I am, it’s natural… I don’t have to pretend to be aggressive, don’t have to show the opposition that I am on the field. Being aggressive comes naturally to me, helps me perform.

I’m totally myself.

You don’t want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That’s what I’m missing right now.
