Lady GaGa: “Being onstage is like having sex with my fans”
Lady GaGa think that being onstage is like “having sex” with her fans.
In an interview with Vogue, GaGa revealed that she was sick backstage at her London show.
“I don’t know if you knew this,” GaGa told Vogue. “But the other night, in London, I had food poisoning. I was vomiting backstage during the changes.”
“Nobody knew…I just Jedi mind-tricked my body. [I told myself] ‘You will not vomit onstage.’
“I was also thinking, If I do, they are going to think I’m drunk. And I don’t want them to think I am human, let alone drunk. I certainly wouldn’t want them to think I had something so ordinary as food poisoning.”
“Sometimes, being onstage is like having sex with my fans.”
“They’re the only people on the planet who in an instant can make me just lose it.”
“I see myself in them.”
“I was this really bad, rebellious misfit of a person–I still am–sneaking out, going to clubs, drugs, alcohol, older men, younger men. You imagine it, I did it. I was just a bad kid. And I look at them, and every show there’s a little more eyeliner, a little more freedom, and a little more ‘I don’t give a f*** about the bullies at my school.’”
“Speaking purely from a musical standpoint, I think I am a great performer.”
“I am a talented entertainer. I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry. I consider myself to be one of the greatest songwriters. I wouldn’t say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do. I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.”
