For Lady Gaga, fame is 'alienating'

LONDON: Pop star Lady Gaga says she finds fame " alienating and toxic".

The " Pokerface" hitmaker believes her worldwide success stems her ability to write a song as she "needs human connection" so she can write music, reported Female First.

"Fame is so alienating and it's toxic for the creative process, for me, because I need human connection in order to write music. If I go to a bar or to the grocery store or wherever and I try to talk to somebody and the whole time they're screaming or trying to take a picture, I can't get to know them."

"I can't ask them a question. I can't learn about their life or share something about mine. I don't get asked very often, you know, really super deep things about myself and that is hard and it's scary. Really scary because you just feel like, 'Will I ever, ever again talk to somebody and have them see me as a person?'" she said.
