Lady Gaga talks A Star is Born on the cover of Variety

The singer covered the latest issue of Variety Magazine where she spoke about her new movie A Star Is Born.

Read excerpts below:

On how transformative A Star Is Born has been for her: “This has been a very transformative time for me. As an artist, there’s always a feeling of ‘Am I good enough? Am I making something honest? Am I making something true?’ There is a sort of stagnant sadness in me, wondering if I’m enough. Today I did not see that. I saw something different. I saw clarity. I saw the truth.

On not reading the film’s reviews: My manager will sometimes text me little one-liners here and there. I’ll be like, ‘Stop it!’”

On if Shallow is nominated for an Oscar for best song: “I used to wrap myself in an Afghan or my grandmother’s knitted blanket and stand on a podium while I watched the Oscars,” says Gaga, who grew up in Manhattan as Stefani Germanotta. ‘I had big dreams as a child’.”
