I prefer to use quickmask when cutting and pasting because you have the choice of selecting what you want with different brushes where, if you use the lasso tool, you have to deal with a hard edge and later try either feathering it or bluring the selection's alpha channel for blending purposes.
To access quick mask siimply press "Q". Black selects areas of your image and white deselects. You can do this easily by pressing "D" which will give you the default colors black (foreground) and white (background). Then after you make your selection using the paint brush you can fix any errors you made by pressing "X" which swaps foreground and background colors, giving you white, allowing you to deselect. When your done press "Q" again to exit quickmask. You should then have your selection. I would recommend saving it so you don't have to do it again. Hope that helps.
