Lady Gaga

I love this woman. There is nothing more admirable than obstinately pursuing her fabulous(!) vision and completely losing herself on stage (all the world's a stage) through singing, dancing, and persistent performance art. She reaches in, steeping her arms in the audience's awe, delivering beats from a character that has been honing its skills for years. She's put in her hours.

I love this woman.

Update:
These are a few of her quotes on IMDB:

[YES]
On her style: My grandmother is basically blind, but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair. She says, "I can see you, because you have no pants on." So I'll continue to wear no pants so that my grandma can see me.

[Yes.]
I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent's house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up. I didn't know somebody, who knew somebody, who knew somebody. If I have any advice to anybody, it's to just do it yourself, and don't waste time trying to get a favor.

[YES]
Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best. When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

[Tapping Semi-Precious Weapons at the end]
I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff. I can't pay my rent, but I'm f---ing gorgeous.
