Highlights
- Pop star Lady Gaga, who has often made headlines for her bizarre costumes and make-up, says she was never conventionally beautiful.
- The 27-year-old singer opened about her notions of beauty and personal struggle in an interview, reported Glamour magazine.
- When asked if she considers herself beautiful, she replied, "Not conventionally beautiful."
- "I've always been OK with that. I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know that what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what's happening on the outside. I'm confident in who I am," Gaga said.
- Gaga also explained the hurdles she faced being a woman in a male-dominated industry.
- "Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men. Because it can actually get in the way," she said.
- "So in some ways, the outfits-these creations are because I don't want to face the reality of what people want from a female pop star. Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint of my face," she added.
