I had everything I'd hoped for, but I wasn't being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didn't like me for being... me.
To me, one of the things I love about being an actor is that it's never done; it's never perfect, and so it's the process. It's like practicing being okay with things not being perfect and things being outside of your control.
I loved being on the radio. Being paid to talk? It's like being paid to eat.
'Born this Way' is about being yourself, and loving who you are and being proud.
I love being part of the team.
I love being the center of attention.
I love being the underdog sometimes.
I love being in front of the camera.
