Lady Gaga sat down with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Apple Music to discuss her latest movie A Star Is Born with Bradley Cooper, its soundtrack, and more. 

On hearing Bradley sing for the first time:
I was blown away,, because the truth is that there’s people that can technically sing perfectly and have no soul. And with Bradley, he just sings from his soul, and he knows how to tell a story when he’s singing, and I heard it right away. And I knew in that moment–you know, I’m kind of a bit of a snob when it comes to watching actors play rock star, but I’m telling you, I was like, this man knows how to be a rock star.

On the final song in the film:
It's very special. It’s a song that he writes for her. It has a very tragic twist at the end. We shot it at The Shrine, which Bradley wanted to do as an homage to the Judy Garland version. On that day, my friend Sonja who had been battling cancers for years, her friend called me and I could hear her moaning in the background. And they said she's not doing well and I thought she was dying, so I left the set. I can’t believe I didn’t even stop to see Bradley, and I got in my car and started driving, and I missed her by ten minutes.

On whether A Star Is Born has influenced her future music:
I've already written some music. You're gonna have to wait and find out. But you know, my music always encapsulates a time in my life.
