I’d rather be a lady of the evening than a feminist.
Nobody works harder than Lady Gaga. Nobody. She is unbelievable. I don’t know how she sleeps, or when or if.
There are so many things to learn from Lady Gaga.
For me, I like to be a little bit tomboy but still look like a lady. Pretty tough. Or really, really, really pretty.
If I am honored to serve as first lady, I will use that wonderful privilege to try to help people in our country who need it the most. One of the many causes dear to my heart is helping children and women.
My children were born into this. They will always be the grandchildren of the President and First Lady of the United States.
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music… I love big, American pop music.
Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue, now supported by most Americans. Still, a few people, like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.
There has been an awful lot of time and money spent looking at the president over the last four years The American people saw through those investigations. They voted for the president. And despite all of this time and attention, nothing has turned up because the president and the first lady did nothing wrong.
At a gig in Liverpool I had this lady give me 21 cup cakes she had made herself. It’s not really rock’n’roll is it? Tom Jones gets pants thrown at him and I get given fairy cakes.

To me, Omarosa, she’s just a nice lady, a big sister that I really love.

With the publication of my book, Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady,’ I have exercised my right to free expression.

I love Joan Collins. She’s a wonderful lady. She has such courage. She’s such a good actress.
As a boy soprano in the high school choir, I later sang a solo during the carol service at Canterbury Cathedral, but I was too young to secure the Freddy Eynsford-Hill role in our production of ‘My Fair Lady’ – and far too timid to have thought to audition for it.
Things began to pick up for me record-wise when in 1971 I wrote ‘She’s a Lady’ for Tom Jones.
There’s something to be said for a disregard of fashion, but it has to be a carefully curated disregard. It works best, I think, on someone under 18. After the age of, say, 40, you can end up looking like a bag lady.
An abiding preoccupation for me is how much of our lives are invisible and unknown by other people, like the Chekhov story ‘The Lady With the Little Dog.’
When we were starting out as a band in New York, we played a concert at a small club early on and asked Lady Gaga to open for us. We were big fans, and she had the same kind of approach to music as we did: not taking everything so seriously and just having fun.
Everyone has a crazy old lady in their family like ‘Mama.’ No one ever comes up to me and says ‘Mama’ is just like them, so no one is ever offended by her. Even young people like to laugh at her. I think she helps kids appreciate their own grandmothers more.
It was really hard for them to intimidate me. They felt I was intimidating. One of the growers had a name for me: I think it was ‘dragon lady’ or something like it.
I’ve been doing the Vietnamese nail lady impressions since my mom first took me to get my nails done when I was 12.
The role of first lady brings with it unique opportunities to help people across the country and around the world.
Any first lady can do whatever they want to do. In this country, people expect them to work on whatever they want or to have a career of their own.
I think there’s still this huge glass ceiling for women owning sexuality. And especially young women. If you’re an old lady like me, I can do anything now.
I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock ‘n’ roll spirit, swagger to the game.
Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

The first year I sold a photo to was a lady who thought I was a chef, for some reason. I’ve no idea why.
And doing a film in that period, and having to really celebrate what they wore back then, how they sat and how they spoke. You know, what the etiquette was back then for a lady. All of those things are like putting on a wig and transforming yourself, which I love.
I love Lady Stoneheart!
If I were God, I would just be up there scratching my head, thinking, ‘What the hell am I supposed to do with this?’ For everyone helping an old lady across the street, there’s someone else bludgeoning a person to death. And sometimes they’re the same. How can He separate us all out?
I know it’s hard to believe that I’m no longer the young ‘Zuri’ everyone has grown to love, which I truly appreciate, but like every young lady, I’m growing, I’m maturing and finding myself at 16 years old discovering the joys and pains of the world we live in.
I love Lady Gaga, Rihanna – all the pop girls like Katy Perry. I think Miley Cyrus is very talented, too. Apart from the visuals, which you may like or not like, but her music is quite good, actually. ‘Wrecking Ball’ is quite a good song, and she sang it really nicely.
She was a great lady. We raised three boys, were together as long as she lived, and now she’s passed on.

I am an optimistic lady.

The best thing about having a lady professor on campus is that it tells women students that they can do it, too.
It’s easier to make fun of a first lady than for a first lady to have fun. The scrutiny is ferocious.
A lot of times, when you’re the leading lady, you get to sing heartwarming songs and that’s it, and people don’t get a sense of who you truly are.
I was a lady gunda in school. Everyone was scared of me, and I was really short and round.
I didn’t do any designs for ‘My Fair Lady.’
I’d love to have First Lady Michelle Obama over and ask, ‘How do you make your marriage work?’ I think the president is sexy as all get-out, but he has got to get on her nerves some kind of way. He’s this wonderful, powerful man, but she sees him leaving his socks on the floor.
Lady Gaga is one of the most amazingly talented musicians to bring her gifts to humanity in a long time.
Chanel No. 5 is my perfume when I’m feeling like a lady. It’s old-school and warm – and it reminds me of my mom.
I have learned that you can do anything you want to. They used to ask me if I thought the first lady ought to be paid. If you get paid, then I have to do what first lady is supposed to do. But you can do anything you want to, and it’s such a great soap box.
Somebody who never got over the embarrassing fact that he was born in bed with a lady.
It was so incredible meeting Lady Gaga. I mean I’m gaga for Gaga, literally. We kind of just each flew to each other like magnets after the ceremony ended and we were both just crying and hugging.
If you are the record label who owns Lady Gaga, and you have a new artist coming up, you can say, ‘Let’s have the artist play just before Gaga.’ Now you’ve exposed the huge Gaga audience to the new artist. It’s similar to showing a trailer before a movie. The hit creates a hit.
From a young age, I was a pretty good listener, a strong lady. Maybe it helped me that I never felt intimidated by anybody. Even at school, I was always strong. I believed in myself, in what I do.
Do you believe in Madonna? Because Lady Gaga has got something to say about ‘Express Yourself,’ and she’s turned Madonna’s fourth-best single of 1989 into her own instant-classic club anthem, ‘Born This Way.’
The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.
Somebody said I sound like an old lady, and I was really insulted by that. I’m trying to sound like Skip James and Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye.
I’m completely the opposite of an etiquette icon. I’m brash, and I don’t follow any social rules, really. I’m nice, but really, I’m the least-put-together lady in the world.
