London, United Kingdom - Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta or Lady Gaga as we know her talks about her life after reaching her 'stardom'. On her exclusive interview with Fabulous Magazine. Lady Gaga talks about her entrance to celebrity den. “Some people are just born stars,” she says in her upmarket New York drawl. “You either have it or you haven’t, and I was definitely born one. “Even as a kid I always had eyes on me, like bees on honey. I was always outrageous and I was always very smart.”
The American singer also shared some of her dark days, “I was working in strip clubs when I was 18. Girls from my background weren’t meant to turn into someone like me. I come from a wealthy Italian family, went to a good school [she was at the same super-rich Manhattan Catholic girls’ school – Convent Of The Sacred Heart – as Paris Hilton]. You’re meant to live with Mom and Dad until they die. I went against all I was brought up to be; I moved out of home, wouldn’t take any help from my parents [her internet entrepreneur dad and his business partner wife] and supported myself with waitressing jobs and stripping."
She also talked about a little sensitive issue regarding her life and drugs,“I don’t like to talk about it too much but there were drugs, serious drugs,” she says. “I wouldn’t want to inspire other people to do the same.” But she doesn’t regret the stripping. “I discovered a real personal freedom through it. Obviously my parents didn’t like it. I was drawing huge crowds, setting hairspray alight on stage and dancing madly. My dad thought I’d lost it. With the drugs it was his reaction that pulled me back. I didn’t go to Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. I did it myself. I have such a fear of failure, I didn’t want anything to make me fail. So I stopped. I still drink and party, but there’s no darkness now. Just a lot of fun.”
And despite the scary clothes and the ego, she insists she’s just a normal gal. “I behave like Lady GaGa 24/7 because I have to, but the real me is the girl who’s still really close to her mom, dad and little sister." “I don’t do this for the money,” she says, “I don’t want to buy a flash car. I just want to put everything into my music and art. I’m going to get bigger and bigger.” she added.
