“What always made me different is that if I was doing drugs I was also making music. I wasn’t just doing drugs.”
She revealed her mother Cynthia didn’t understand why she felt she needed to take drugs and was confused by her early performances.
“At the beginning I was doing performance art in handmade leather and leopard bikinis talking about oral sex and Andy Warhol and heavy metal,” she said. “My mom was like, ‘You’ve lost your mind.’ I was doing drugs, I was really out of control. But I never got so far into it that I overdosed or anything.”
Gaga is adamant she doesn’t need drugs anymore and has toned down her wild lifestyle.
“Once you open those doors they’re open for ever,” she said. “People who say they need [drugs] to be creative are full of s**t. I’m not some chick on the road getting high and f***ed up every night. I wake up, drink coffee and get on the phone to talk about the creative direction of the next video.”
