Interviewer: In the fifth season of AHS you play the horror-inducing Countess Elizabeth. This should come very easily to you.
Gaga: Hell no! I've never been so nervous before in my entire life. On the way to the set, I threw up in the car. Luckily, I had a plastic bag at hand.

I: You recovered quite quickly I assume.
G: I grew into the character quite quickly. Which means a lot to me. I can let out my dark side.

I: As a noble hotel owner, who is a vampire in reality.
G: I'm a monster, but a very glamerous one. I love Elizabeths intelligence, her wisdom and her s-xual power. And that she seems very young and naive on the outside.

I: You have numerous s-x scenes in the show. Were you nervous?
G: The first one came easy to me, but in the meantime I shot twelve s-x scenes. The most difficult day was when John Travolta appeared out of nowhere on the set. I'm a huge fan and I was close to peeing myself.

I: You are a superstar in the music business. Where did your wish to cross over into acting come from?
G: I always wanted to be an actress and I took acting lessons for 10 years. My performance as "Lady Gaga" or "Elizabeth" don't really feel played to me though.

I: Do you identify with the s-x-crazed bloodsucker?
G: She's isolated and lonely. I can empathize with her. I'm from a very catholic Italian family, where depression has been passed down from generation to generation. Mediaction, therapy and doctors were frowned upon. I felt lonely, but not because my parents let me down, it's a chemical in my brain. When I grew older, I started shutting out everybody and looked for freedom in my music.

I: How is your relationship with you parents nowadays?
G: We are very close. We could always rely on each other. My grand-parents were immigrants from Sicily. They had to work really hard for everything they have now. It was difficult, but it brought us closer together as a family.

I: How are your colleagues calling you on set? Gaga?
G: Most of the call me by my real name. Stefani or Stef. Of course I answer when somebody calls me Gaga as well. My father calls me "Loopy" and my lover calls me babe.

I: Lover? Aren't you engaged with actor Taylor Kinney? (Annotation: "lover" is synonymous in German with "(extramarital) affair")
G: He is both.

I: You are 29 years old and alread spent half of your life in showbiz. Don't you get tired?
G: Yeah, I do. Especially the last few years were really hard. Sometimes I feel really damn old. Like 100. But you'll always get wiser.

I: Wiser?
G: Wise enough to know that there are people who are completely narcissistic and only care about their own sh*t. Too many of us are addicted to their smartphones and forgot how to actually communicate with other people. Of course people should do what makes them happy. But we can't let society go downhill completely because everyone is just for themselves and nobody gets through to anybody.

I: Would you like to get more roles on TV - or even movies?
G: That would be my dream! It would help me too honestly. I'm rebellious by nature and it's good for me when there are limits for me and a director or script tells me what to do. It's like changing positions during s-x. I don't wanna be on top all the time, I wanna get f*cked too. (laughs) It's very liberating. Because at the end of the day when I go home I'm back in control.

12 s-x scenes and she's not even done with the season yet.  Giving Ros from GoT a run for her money in that department.

Anyway, great insightful interview.
