London: Pop diva Lady Gaga is confused between her real self and on stage persona because she puts majority of her time and energy into her outlandish performances.
The 25-year-old singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, admits her deep involvement in her eccentric performances has left her feeling lost.
“The lines for myself have become so blurred now, I know not the difference between a moment of performance and a moment of honesty. If you were to ask me to remove my Philip Treacy hat at a party, in truth it is the emotional and physical equivalent of requesting I remove my liver.
“I know not the difference between the hair that grows from my head and the teal wigs that grow from my imagination. They are the same. They are both honest, and always have been. So maybe I know nothing of ‘the art of escapism.’ I was just Born This Way. I revere the dream to be real. I am always, and shall forever be, private in public,” said Gaga.
The ‘Judas’ hitmaker also insists that everything about her was “unique”. “Art is a lie. And every day I kill to make it true. It is my destiny to exist halfway between reality and fantasy at all times. They call me ‘theatrical,’ but I posit profusely that I am theatre, and that theatre is me. I am a show with no intermission. “…That I (we) possess something magical and transformative inside- a uniqueness and specialness waiting to be exiled from the depths of our identity,” added Gaga.
