Lady Gaga 2012: 'Marry The Night' Singer To Ignore Media, Top 5 Most Memorable Quotes


Lady Gaga, the pop sensation known for her attention-grabbing fashion and performances, told Oprah Winfrey that she plans to cut all connection with the media. 

When talking to the iconic show host for her special airing Sunday, "Oprah's Next Chapter," the "Born This Way" singer said she is taking a break from interviews, according to The Chicago Tribune.
"Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," she said. "No press, no television, if my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about that' I shut it all off."
This is a change of pace for the eccentric singer, as the 25-year-old has been known for media stunts. Her distinguished meat dress has become a staple of the pop star's image, and her 2009 performance of 'Paparazzi' at MTV's VMA ceremony was one of her first eye-catching endeavors.
With the starlet preparing for her media vow of silence, here's a recap of some of Lady Gaga's most memorable quotes.
1. "Some women choose to follow men, and some women 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."- Cosmopolitan Magazine, 2010
2. "Pop stars should not eat." - New York Magazine, 2010  
3. "I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f--king deli without hearing or seeing me." -Cosmopolitan Magazine, 2010.
4. "I'm terrified of therapy because I don't want it to mess with my creativity." -Rolling Stone, 2010
5. "I have the right to choose whether or not I want to be a celebrity, and I don't want to be one...I'd much rather people write about what I wear and what I'm singing and what I do in my videos than about who I'm f--king. I mean, that, for me, is the kiss of death." -Rolling Stone, 2010.

Blessing in disguise? Lady Gaga takes a vow of silence


Here’s some irony of Friday morning: Lady Gaga, the queen of flashy outfits and crazy stunts, is taking a vow of silence. Is she “Speechless” or just sick of the “Paparazzi?”
E! reported that Oprah was able to get an interview with the singer which will air this weekend. After that, Gaga has promised to finally shut up.
“Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time. … No press, no television,” Gaga said.
Maybe she really doesn’t have anything left to say, but we doubt it. Gaga confirmed that she doesn’t like what the media says about her – “I don’t read a damn thing.”
Recently gaining 20 million followers on Twitter, it’s hard to believe her mouth will be shut for long. Don’t hold your breath, world, Gaga isn’t going anywhere.

Gauging the Lady Gaga Galaxy

Lady Gaga recently topped the ultimate media maven Oprah Winfrey in Forbes magazine as the world's most powerful celebrity. Billboard projected one million sales for the first week's release of her new album "Born This Way." Whatever your opinion about Gaga, she seems to be conquering the world one palatable pop beat at a time. So, what is the secret to her meteoric success?
There are countless talented, piano-playing singers drudging through the New York club scene trying to make it. Gaga made it bigger than she could've ever imagined. She once said in an interview with John Norris for "Noisevox," "I did pop music the way indie rock bands do rock n' roll." She built her career from the ground up.
The media specialists and public relations companies hired by Gaga's record label may in part be responsible for her popularity but ultimately it's her and her content that draws fans. She has taken over twitter with more than 10.5 million followers because people want to hear what she has to say. She exudes the perfect mix of charisma, talent, depth, originality and humbleness. Plus she births infectious beats people want to hear, or else no one would care about the rest.
On May 14, 2011 Gaga posted a YouTube message to her fans saying, "Thank you for supporting my artistic vision and always letting me be myself. I will always fight to the death for you to be yourself." This familial and familiar relationship between the Mother Monster and her Little Monster fans has produced a pantheistic pop religion. In her "Good Morning America" appearance earlier this month Gaga said about her fans, "They're my family, for sure."
Gaga was asked during her "GMA" interview what she would be doing if she wasn't famous. Her apt response was, "Well, I would still be a singer. I just wouldn't be famous." Asked if she ever thought of doing anything else she said, "That would be so awful, wouldn't it? If I just gave up because nobody bought my music? I just really love what I do."
The dictionary definition of gaga is to be "marked by wild enthusiasm: infatuated, doting." Complex theories aside, this could be the simple key to Gaga's fame and influence. It's the lesson Oprah Winfrey, the woman Gaga eclipsed on the Forbes' list, offered in her final episode. She urged her audience, " -- know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world."
Just like Gaga does in every appearance and performance, Oprah said people who found their calling, " -- lit up the stage with their passion." Perhaps beyond talent and luck, that's the real magic of Gaga. Her passion is the secret to her fame and ultimate pop legend longevity. Gaga pursued her calling and now illuminates the world.
