Lady Gaga sat down with Lee Cowan for a very candid interview on CBS's Sunday Morning show. The singer-songwriter broke into tears when discussing how fame has changed her life and the loss of a connection with everyday people.
"I'm very acutely aware that once I cross that property line, I'm not free anymore," Gaga confessed. "As soon as I go out into the world, I belong, in a way, to everyone else. It's legal to follow me. It's legal to stalk me at the beach. I took a long, hard look at that property line, and I said, 'Well, if I can't be free out there, I can be free in my heart.'"
"I miss people," she continued through tears. "I miss people. I miss, you know, going anywhere and meeting a random person and saying, 'Hi,' and having a conversation about life. I love people."

The one barrier fame didn't put up was between her and her family, especially her father, Joe.
"Making your dad happy is, especially for an Italian Catholic girl, I'll tell you, it feels really good," she said. "You know, all the awards in the world, you can get into all the nightclubs, they'll send you the nicest clothes. Nothing better than walking into your dad's restaurant and seeing a smile on his face and knowing that your mom and dad and your sister are real proud of you. And that, you know, you haven't lost touch with who you are. That, for me, is real success."
During the interview, Gaga also discussed her new album Joanne, her upcoming performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and much more. Watch below...
