London, June 23 (IANS) Pop singer Lady Gaga refuses to let herself give in to feelings of self-doubt because she needs to maintain her pop persona at all times.
"When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, you are Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Gaga as saying.
The "Bad Romance" hitmaker, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, takes her image so seriously that she wouldn't even let ill-health stop her from dressing up.
"If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I would come out as Gaga," said the singer.
