EBN-Lady Gaga has spoken openly about a “dark” period in her life, stating: “Five years ago, I was psychotic. I was out of touch with reality for a spell. It significantly disrupted my life, but after many years of hard work, I was able to reclaim it.”
Lady Gaga justified her sickness by claiming that the various identities she portrayed kept her utterly divorced from reality. She continued, “I like to think I’m a good person, but there’s a ferocity, cruelty, and intensity that I have on stage as an artist.” So I had to learn how to keep those two things together without their fighting.” The Oscar-winning artist explained that she discovered her own way to be herself.
Gaga mentioned her fiancé Michael Polansky, whom she met in 2019, and said that he played a big role in helping her deal with the difficult times, recalling that he told her: “I know you can be happier than you are right now,” these words made her appear as a happy and completely composed person.
Lady Gaga is excited to be a mother
In the interview, Lady Gaga discussed her feelings of motherhood and her excitement for the role, saying, “I’m excited to be a mother. I used to have a lot of anxiety about it,” adding, “The most important thing to me is not to force my children into a life that they don’t choose for themselves. So the more space we can give them to discover who they are for themselves, that’s the thing I believe in more than anything else.”
