On Ryan:
“With Ryan, soul mate feels like too small of a word because a soul mate implies somebody that maybe you’ll spend the rest of your life with,”
But I know that I will spend eternity with Ryan through this role because he gave me a sense of self beyond what I believed I was when I met him. He has always believed in me. I have had people who truly believed in me really betray me.
“It was about money, about this and that.Thank you, Ryan. I am sitting in here and a couple of years ago, everybody was making fun of me.”
On Manager:
“My manager is looking at me and I have to say I love my manager so much that he is sitting here right now watching me; he is by my side every minute.
“I dislike saying ‘my assistant’ because it feels disgusting to say that I have an assistant when I am someone who grew up in a walk-up on the Lower East Side with nothing.
“But yesterday, my assistant —there I go, disgusting—and I were sitting on a couch together talking. She cried to me and said, ‘When I met you, it was like, I didn’t know how this happened. You were so sad, so broken, so empty. How did that happen, how did you have so much and feel so alone?’
“When my assistant met me, she met an old woman who was dying. Someone who was giving up. She had met someone who decided, I have lived a lifetime that many people only dream of. If there was heartbreak, perhaps that was my karma, to be given all of this and then to have it taken away. So what I would say is, I feel f***ing old.
Throwing up on first day:
Lady Gaga’s recollection of her first shooting day brought levity, for a change. “It’s so funny—on the first day of filming, I remember I was riding in my car,” she recounted. “I threw up in the car on the way because I was so nervous. I have never filmed on an actual set before.
“Whereas this is me shooting moments that belong to a sequence and trying to understand the language of television. So I was extremely nervous.
“I threw up into a Ziploc bag. I walked into my trailer where my now very dear friend … Ryan was waiting for me. I said, ‘I brought my vomit for you because I don’t think I have ever been as nervous as I was that day maybe when I took the stage at the Oscars.’”
