Lady Gaga lives "between reality and fantasy"

  • May 17, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

In a couple of tabloid inter­views this week, Lady Gaga has talked about the inspir­a­tion behind her forth­com­ing album 'Born This Way', saying she doesn't live in the same version of reality as the rest of us.

"I live halfway between reality and fantasy at all times," she told The Sun, then elab­or­ated to The Mirror that "the album is about living halfway between reality and fantasy at all times, chal­len­ging the social idea that magic is arti­fi­cial. I believe that what's magical inside of you is what makes you special, and unique".

She also said that once 'Born This Way' is released, she won't be recording anything new for a while: "I think, after you hear the album, you won't expect me to do too much after that," she said. "It's going to be a won­der­fully long and lib­er­at­ing journey promoting the record, and then I'm going on tour again."

'Born This Way' will be streaming on the Metro website tomorrow, and Lady Gaga even guest-edited tomorrow's edition of the paper.
