Lady GaGa - Lady Gaga takes tea with Stephen Fry (Full interview transcript) lyrics
Stephen Fry: I know people talk to you about all the same things but one of the things I just wanted to talk to you about, because it's so obvious coming here, is the thing I think that you always say is most important to you, which is the fans, and they're all outside and I gather you took them out some hot chocolate? Lady Gaga: Actually, well, I sent them hot chocolate yesterday and macaroons, and then today I had press all day and I felt bad because I usually would leave the hotel and I would go to say “hi” but I knew that I wouldn't have time and they'd be waiting all day, so I just went down and I brought them some fresh cookies and flowers. SF: Ooooh! And do you find there's a difference between your fans in different countries or is there a sort of similarity: is there a kind of Gaga fan who has a commonality? LG: Yes, there is. The little monsters are a community and it's kind of nice that everywhere I go they create a little home for me. SF: Both those who, I suppose, describe themselves as your critics and those who adore you, as I do I'm unashamed to say, would concentrate on the fact that you are quite happy to be self consciously a spokesman for the dispossessed, the marginal, the freakish, the outsider, the s**ually different, the ugly, the fat, the one who doesn't fit in, the one who feels outside the tribe, if you like. LG: Yes, it could be anybody. SF: Which, in fact, is most of us. None of us really feels we belong, just some of us are better at hiding it than others. LG: I think so. Some of us wear the mask prouder than others. SF: Yes. Exactly. And the title of this album is the one that most directly addresses that, I suppose, Born This Way and the title song of it. LG: Yes. The album is about being able to be reborn over and over again throughout your life. SF: Oh, so it's not just that God made me gay or God made me lesbian or God made me bi, and that's who I am? LG: No. SF: It's about being reborn, is it? LG: No, not really. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsMsLaj7MRs
