Lady GaGa: 'Music like mindblowing sex'

Lady GaGa has said that making music should be like having irresponsible sex with an idea.

The 'Poker Face' singer told Blender that she likes to "roll around in bed" with her new songs and work out "what feels good".

She said: "Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best.

"When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time."

She added that she refused to shower and "started to cry" when she played a white baby-grand piano before her show in Dublin in January.
