Lady GaGa: 'I'm careful of what I say'

Lady GaGa has admitted that she is hesitant to share her private life with her fans.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the 24-year-old discussed the importance of maintaining the facade of celebrity.

"You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people who look up to you so much," she explained.

"I don't want to be a bad example. I'm not a victim."

However, she added that she still struggles to come to terms with a troubled past.

"There are some things that are so traumatic, I don't even fully remember them. But I will say wholeheartedly that I had the most wonderful mother and father. I was never abused. I didn't have a bad childhood.

"All of the things I went through were on my own quest for an artistic journey to fuck myself up like [Andy] Warhol and [David] Bowie and Mick [Jagger]."
