Lady Gaga's Inspiration for "Born This Way"

“I had My Little Ponies,” she told the Big Top 40 Show. “I was obsessed with the idea of a creature that was born with something magical that sort of made them the misfit in the world of the stallion. I’m actually quite obsessed with unicorns. They are in essence a mythical creature so what I’m trying to say is the unicorn was born magical and it’s not the unicorn’s fault and it doesn’t make it any more or less special or any less unique but it can’t help that it was born with that magic.” - Lady Gaga
