Lady Gaga answered her fans' questions in an exclusive interview through Google Moderator, an application that allows participants to manage feedback.
Lady Gaga answered the questions as her fans got a more personal look into the pop star's life.
She discussed everything from backstage pranks during her tour, her security entourage and her obsession with yoga.
A lot of the questions asked were more personal, for example about how all the tattoos the pop star has are on the left side of her body.
It's the only thing I feel I can be really bad at and nobody knows. I guess that's the thing about fame that's difficult. If you screw up ... Google is there, she said.
Google Moderator was created in 2008 but the interview with Lady Gaga was the first time a celebrity used the application for a press-conference style interview. Here are ten of the top quotes from the Google interview.
Lady Gaga’s favorite YouTube video is “David After Dentist.” She said sometimes she gets so tired while touring that she jokingly asks people, “Is this real life?”Reuters“When I was in high school, all my girl friends wanted to get jobs [at Google]. … I respect all of you so much. I know that there are some really amazing minds in this room.”Reuters“That’s the thing about fame that is difficult because if you screw up … Google. It’s there.”ReutersLady GagaReutersA Google employee, who helped set up “Google Goes Gaga,” attended New York University at the same time Lady Gaga did when she was 17. Lady Gaga said that employee was a resident assistant and wrote her up for drinking. “So, we go way back, Google,” she said. Reuters“I, too, am a child of the dot-com era.”ReutersVery often they make jokes about my diet because they know I have to stay fit for videos, so they'll leave mounds of cheeseburgers and stuff in my dressing room. It's really awful. It's vicious.”ReutersReferencing the kids that bullied her in school, “There's been lots of concert ticket requests. I think one of the most awkward things anyone ever said to me was, "well my my, how the tables have turned." To be honest, I don't have that kind of vengeful spirit and I never did. I say this with so much genuineness in my heart: Bullying stays with you your whole life: I was never the winner, I was always the loser, and that stays with me."ReutersWhen asked about all of her tattoos being on the left side of her body, “It was actually per my father's request. He said that I remain on one side, slightly normal … I have my Marilyn Monroe side and my Iggy Pop side.”Reuters“The most important thing about creativity is that you honor your creativity and you don’t ever ignore it or go against what that creative image is telling you … Last night I was lying in bed and I had an idea for an outfit and I just made myself get up and sketch it real fast then went back to sleep. I think it’s when you say “I’m too tired I have to go to bed” is when creativity stops coming. If God calls you, pick up the damn phone.” Reuters
