How she used her forced hiatus to "go back to the core" and prepare to prove herself all over againâ€â€this time not just as a pop star but as a pop artist to prepare for her new album ARTPOP: "I went to look back to myself being 19, with all my Warhol books and all my Yoko Ono and John Lennon CDs, my Rolling Stones CDs and my Bowie…, and I said, what would she want me to do right now? Well she'd want you to call Jeff Koons and Robert Wilson and Marina Abramović and Inez and Vinoodh…And that's what I did!"

 

Lady Gaga wears a wool dress with satin collar and silk faille sleeves and a pink raccoon-fur headpiece from Schiaparelli with a pony-hair necklace (worn as headpiece) from Bjørg.

On handling pressure: "What are you talking about, pressure? I'm great under pressure. I'm a warrior. I'm Rocky, round 12."

 

The difference between Gaga's high-priestess act and the girl who spends time with her family: "I amâ€â€Stefani isâ€â€a perpetually tortured artist. That's why I changed my name. I can't be her in public. She would be a mess!"

On raging against the critics who question the authenticity of her early struggles: "Everyone is so cynicalâ€â€that I can't purely love my fans, or share an honest story about my past, without someone asking me if I really, truly struggled. Do you know how much dirt I ate? Do you know the men I had to crawl through, the people that disrespected my body, my mind, my heart?"

BEHIND THE SCENES

For this month's cover shoot, Lady Gaga reigned supreme in the season's most sumptuous finery at an ultraprivate Long Island estate. Photographer Ruth Hogben: "It was elegant, intimate. Gaga has incredible features that you could stare at all day long." ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee: "We played up her natural radiance with bold furs from Chanel and Versace." Wardrobe Stylist Brandon Maxwell: "The crowning piece was definitely the Christian Lacroix for Schiaparelli dress, brought by two assistants who flew from Paris to New York just for the day!" Set Designer Marla Weinhoff: "It was also huge for us to get a sneak preview of ARTPOP, her new album. Gaga elevates everyone around herâ€â€she's a true artist."
