There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself.

Drew Barrymore

God, Home, Alone

Karl Marx

Time, Nothing, Everything

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak.

Lady Gaga

Love, Art, Teacher
