Watch Lady Gaga’s inspiring speech about the importance of staying true to yourself.

Transcript:

“So don’t be unconscious all day, on your fucking phone. Don’t we live now in a bit of a very shallow world? Pop culture is extremely shallow and we’re just asking the world to get deep.

I don’t like wasting my time spending days just shaking people’s hands and smiling and taking selfies. It feels shallow to my existence. I have a lot more to offer than my image. I don’t like being used to make people money. I feel sad when I am overworked and that I just became a money-making machine and that my passion and my creativity take a back seat to what makes me unhappy.

So what did I do? I started to say no. I’m not doing that. I don’t want to do that. I’m not taking that picture. I’m not going to that event. I’m not standing by that because that’s not what I stand for. And slowly but surely I remembered who I am. And then you go home and you look in the mirror and you’re like, yes! I can go to bed with you every night.”
