When I look back on my life, it’s
not that I don’t want to see things
exactly as they happened, it’s just
that I prefer to remember them in
an artistic way. And - truthfully -
the lie of it all is much more
honest because I invented it.
Clinical psychology tells us,
arguably, that trauma is the
ultimate killer. Memories are not
recycled like atoms and particles
in quantum psychics - they can be
lost forever. It’s sort of like my
past is an unfinished painting, and
as the artist of that painting I
must fill in all the ugly holes and
make it beautiful again. It’s not
that I’ve been dishonest, it’s just
that I loathe reality. For
example, those nurses - they’re
wearing next season Calvin Klein,
and so am I. And the shoes - custom
Giuseppe Zanotti. I tipped their
gauze caps to the side like
Parisian berets - because I think
it’s romantic, and I also believe
that mint will be very big in
fashion next Spring. Check out this
nurse on the right, she’s got a
great ass. Bam.
The truth is, back then at the
clinic, they only wore those funny
hats to keep the blood out of their
hair. And that girl on the left -
she ordered gummy bears and a knife
a couple of hours ago. They only
gave her the gummy bears.
I wish they’d only given me the
gummy bears.
NURSE
Good morning morphine
princess. How are you feeling?
Everything went really well. Look
at you, I remember when I delivered
you, you looked just like your
mother.
GAGA
Except my mother is a saint.
NURSE
Tachycardia. Heart rate is 120.
GAGA
I’m gonna make it.
NURSE
No intimacy for two weeks. Blood
pressure 90 over 40. A little low;
but then again you’ve always been
on the low side.
GAGA
I’m going to be a star. You know
why? Because - I have nothing left
to lose.
NURSE
Do you need anything else?
GAGA
Just un petite peu de la musique.
Later.
GAGA
You may say I lost everything, but
I still had my Be-Dazzler and I had
a lot of patches, shiny ones from
M&J Trimming, so I wreaked havoc on
some old denim. And I did what any
girl would do -- I did it all over
again
