AmbitiousGa Interview During Alejandro Era (2010)

[RAMROD 109,225]

The former Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is on a mission: to prove that Lady Gaga is art and that her art is not a mask. It is her life.

Add to this the pressures of her sudden rise to cultural dominance, her relentless work ethic, her seemingly endless world tour and the fact that she has already completed demos for her next album, and you might imagine a star on the verge of collapse. But that’s not the way Gaga sees it.

“We’re supposed to be tired,” she says, before singing a few of the new songs she wrote on the road. “I don’t know who told everyone otherwise, but you make a record and you tour. That’s how you build a career. I told my manager today, ‘I can’t wait to take all my platinum records off the walls and make room for more.'”

Have you ever been to therapy?
No. I’ve, like, spoken to spiritual guides and things. I’m terrified of therapy because I don’t want it to mess with my creativity.

 

I don’t know. Some artists make their best music when they’re in love.
I’m terrified of babies, though.

Because?
I think, creatively as a woman, you change once you give birth. I’m totally not ready for that.

 

They say that most workaholics are that way because it’s an addiction and a way to avoid other things
In so many ways, my music also heals me. So is it heroin, and I need the fix to feel better? Or is it that music is healing? I guess that’s the big question. When you work as hard as I do, or you resign your life to something like music or art or writing, you have to commit yourself to this struggle and commit yourself to the pain. And I commit myself to my heartbreak wholeheartedly. It’s something that I will never let go. But that heartbreak, in a way, is my feature. It’s a representation of the process of my work. As artists, we are eternally heartbroken.

 

Your fans seem to really like what you stand for, because some people need to be reminded that it’s OK to be different.
I love what they stand for. I love who they are. They inspire me to be more confident every day. When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. But I say, “Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you better ****ing get up and walk the walk today,” because they need that from me. And they inspire me to keep going.

She went from that to being a major mental health activist, Character Development™ right before our eyes

I miss the days when she took her music career seriously, she should quit therapy to care about her music again.

And the ‘she’s just being lazy, otherwise she wouldn’t be promoting Valentino and HL’ ones

"But there’s some things I keep sacred for myself. As someone who has written two albums about it, I have the right to choose whether or not I want to be a celebrity, and I don’t want to be one. And I feel that I’m relatively clever enough to control that people pay attention more to my music and to my clothing than they do to my personal life."

I think about this quote a lot I've always liked that she seems like a very open person but also someone who knows how to maintain a mystique. How much do we really know about Miss Gags? Or do we only think we know her

[Economy 49,534]

Yeah I always felt she was pushing a persona of the ultimate artistic pop star

 

I think the Lady Gaga of today is much more genuine. She doesn't try to pertend to be superhuman or on some unique category vs her rivals

 

That CNN interview she once had (or at least aired on I dunno who actually did interview) sounded next level narssassictic

I think she reached her narcissistic persona in ARTPOP but wow, you are right. This in beyond that, she was really out there with her ideas. I wonder how she'd feel now if she watch this. Im 100% she would cringe

 

I loved her delusions of grandeur, nothing in the world would've been achieved if the brightests minds were not a little pretentious.

Yeah but maintaining your private life private is much more easier when you're a workaholic and self-define yourself as "committed to the heartbreak", which basically means she didn't have a private life to be aware of
