Washington, May 25 (Inditop): Lady Gaga just can’t imagine her life away from public eye.

The 23-year-old singer admits that she lives for fame and wouldn’t be able to cope with normal life, reports the China Daily.

“There are times when it can be a lot to deal with but always when I get up in the morning I try to find that very joyful place that reminds me that I would die if someone took it all away,” she said.

“If someone did that I wouldn’t be a person any more,” she added.

After years of singing in clubs and penning tracks for stars, including Britney Spears, Lady Gaga shot to fame with her debut album ‘The Fame’.

“I have such an appreciation for where I am in my life because I’ve struggled and because I couldn’t get signed, and because I couldn’t get played on the radio,” she said.

“Right now the only thing that I am concerned with in my life is being an artist. I had to suppress it for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I’m completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like,” she added. (Inditop)
