Lady GaGa is gracing the cover of September’s Vanity Fair – looking absolutely stunning, and the pop star gives possibly one of the most fascinating, candid interviews YET regarding her troubled past, sexuality, and rise to success!
On sex:
“I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina. I’m perpetually lonely. I’m lonely when I’m in relationships. It’s my condition as an artist. I’m drawn to bad romances. And my song [Bad Romance] is about whether I go after those [sort of relationships] or if they find me. I’m quite celibate now; I don’t really get time to meet anyone.”
On her lowest point, and subsequent recovery:
├óΓé¼┼ôI was laying in my bed on my stomach├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥this is so sick├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥but I was eating a salad, and I got a phone call: Can you be at this restaurant in 30 minutes? So-and-so big record executive wants to meet you. And the salad was like a really unhealthy salad, it was like fried chicken or something. So I said, ├óΓé¼╦£I├óΓé¼Γäóll be right there.├óΓé¼Γäó I got up, went to the bathroom, threw up the salad, did a line of coke, went to the meeting. I was completely mental and had just been through so much. I do not want my fans to ever emulate that or be that way. I don├óΓé¼Γäót want my fans to think they have to be that way to be great. It├óΓé¼Γäós in the past. It was a low point, and it led to disaster. All I will say is I hit rock bottom, and it was enough to send a person over the edge. My mother knew the truth about that day, and she screamed so loud on the other end of the phone, I├óΓé¼Γäóll never forget it. And she said, ├óΓé¼╦£I├óΓé¼Γäóm coming to get you.├óΓé¼Γäó And I remember laying on the pullout bed in the basement in my parents├óΓé¼Γäó house, and I said to my mom, ├óΓé¼╦£Can we go see Grandma?├óΓé¼Γäó And we didn├óΓé¼Γäót even call her; the next morning we got on the plane to West Virginia, showed up at the house, and I told my [82-year-old] grandma everything. I cried. I told her I thought my life was over and I have no hope and I├óΓé¼Γäóve worked so hard, and I knew I was good. What would I do now? And she said, ├óΓé¼╦£I├óΓé¼Γäóm gonna let you cry for a few more hours. And then after those few hours are up, you├óΓé¼Γäóre gonna stop crying, you├óΓé¼Γäóre gonna pick yourself up, you├óΓé¼Γäóre gonna go back to New York, and you├óΓé¼Γäóre gonna kick some ass.├óΓé¼Γäó”
On the Yankees game scandal:
“Well, I guess I was my true New York 24-year-old Italian girl who grew up here and how dare you set me up? I want to go to things like ball games, but when I go to the ball game, they’re going to write the story that will sell papers. Look, I’m not an idiot—I recognize that I’m a public figure and I’m going to be recognized if I’m wearing a bikini or a potato sack. The trade-off is I get to see the Yankees, and what the Yankees mean to me in my soul as a young person from New York is more important to me than my reputation in terms of the tabloids. My real fans know who I truly am, and they know what I represent and what I mean, and my music and my performance is what really speaks.”
On her success:
“About two weeks ago, I literally realized what had happened in my life. I almost wish it hadn’t hit me so late. I wish it had hit me gradually. It was insane … I thought, How could I possibly be better for you? That’s all I keep thinking: I just want to be better for you. I want to say and sing the right things for you, and I want to make that one melody that really saves your spirit that one day.”
Look how far you’ve come!
P.S. You’re grandma sounds badass!
