Do you hear Madonna or Michael Jackson on Lady GaGa`s new album? Because she does.
The Pop eccentric made the interesting claim during an audience with Stephen Fry for the Financial Times. In theinsightfulfeature, she also discusses money meaning nothing to her, her fans and more.
Excerpts after the jump_
Via our dear friends over at GaGa Daily:
On money:
"It`s honestly true that money means nothing to me.
The only big things I`ve purchased are my dad`s heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga licence plate on our old car and it was making me sick because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car. Other than that I put everything in the show, and I really went bankrupt after the first wing of The Giant Ball."
On fans:
"I sent them hot chocolate yesterday, and macaroons, and so today I had press all day and I felt a bit bad because I wouldn`t make lots of a fortune to go low and say hello. But I did manage to go low and brought them some fresh cookies and flowers. Little Monsters are a community. It`s variety of nice that wherever I go they make a small place for me.
On Madonna:
"I really love her so much. I suppose she is so amazing. She could never be replicated and, yes, I`m Italian, I`m from New York, and not for nothing, it`s not my mistake that I sort of look like her, right? So, look, if anything, it`s more irritating to me that mass would intimate that I don`t wish to be compared to her_ She`s wonderful and inspiring and liberating, and she`s certainly inspired my (`Born This Way`) album, as did David Bowie, as did Prince, as did Michael Jackson, as did Grace Jones, and I would never accept that away."
While the Madonna similarities are at times uncanny, she lost yours truly with the Michael reference. Then again, what`s a GaGa interview without the random wackiness_
Classic. Your thoughts?
