[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >>
Stephen: HEY! WELCOME BACK. WELCOME BACK TO ALL THE
LITTLE MONSTERS WATCHING TONIGHT. WE NOW RETURN TO MY
INTERVIEW WITH LADY GAGA. WE ARE AT THE BETTER END IN
MANHATTAN I UNDERSTAND IT HAS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU. >> Lady Gaga: VERY SPECIAL. I THINK THE FIRST TIME I
PERFORMED HERE, I WAS 14. >> Stephen: WITH A BAND, YOU
AND A PIANO? >> Lady Gaga: I WAS BY
MYSELF. I BELIEVE IT’S THAT PIANO
THAT’S RIGHT THERE. THEY TUNED IT FOR ME. I REMEMBER. I COULDN’T BELIEVE THEY DID
THAT FOR ME. >> Stephen: DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT YOUR SET WAS? >> Lady Gaga: ALL ORIGINAL
SONGS THAT I HAD WRITTEN. I THINK I DID ABOUT MAY BE
EIGHT TO TEN SONGS. >> Stephen: WHAT NIGHT OF
THE WEEK? >> Lady Gaga: I BET IT WAS
LIKE A TUESDAY. THERE IS NO WAY THEY WERE
GOING TO GIVE ME A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY BY PERFORMED HERE
UNTIL I WAS, I DON’T KNOW, I GUESS I WAS AT LEAST 17. I WAS STILL PLAYING HERE. I HAVE — MY MOM KEPT THESE. THEY ARE FLYERS. THAT I MADE. USED TO GO TO THE COPY SHOP
AND MAKE THOSE. >> Stephen: THAT’S GREAT. >> Lady Gaga: WHEN I BECAME
LADY GAGA, PEOPLE WOULD THEN COME SEE THIS SHOW AND IF
THEY LIKD IT, THEY WOULD LEAVE THEIR NAME IN THEIR
EMAIL AND THEIR NUMBER. THAT’S ACTUALLY VERY
IMPORTANT PIECE OF PAPER THAT HAS SOME PEOPLE ON IT. >> Stephen: YOU STILL
PHYSICALLY HAVE A QUESTION MARK. >> Lady Gaga: I DO. MY MOM SAID SHE KEPT THE
PEN, THE CLIPBOARD AND THE PEN. SORRY, WE TOOK THE
CLIPBOARD. HERE’S THE SAME CLIPBOARD. I DREW LIKE A HIT LIST OF
WHO I WANTED TO TALK TO. ISLAND, DEF JAM. UNIVERSAL. THE FLOWERS AND HEARTS. >> Stephen: HOW LONG BEFORE
THIS HAPPENED? BETWEEN THIS PIECE OF PAPER
AND YOU TALKING TO THOSE PEOPLE. >> Lady Gaga: I WAS A COUPLE
YEARS. THEN THIS IS WHEN I SIGNED
MY FIRST RECORD DEAL. [APPLAUSE] >> Stephen: HOW
OLD WERE YOU? >> Lady Gaga: I WAS 19 I
BELIEVE. >> Stephen: THAT IS A VERY
CYNDI LAUPER KIND OF POSE. >> Lady Gaga: THANK YOU. THIS IS WITH ISLAND DEF JAM
AND I GOT DROPPED A FEW MONTHS LATER. >> Stephen: THAT EXCITEMENT
AND A COUPLE MONTHS LATER YOU GET DROPPED. DID THEY SAY WHY? >> Lady Gaga: I THINK AT THE
TIME THEY DIDN’T TOTALLY GET IT. >> Stephen: HOW DID YOU
FEEL? YOU’VE GOT THIS EXCITEMENT
AND THEN YOU GET DROPPED. >> Lady Gaga: IT WAS ONE OF
THE HARDEST THINGS THAT EVER HAPPENED. I MEAN, IT WAS A VERY CRAZY
EXPERIENCE. A LOT WAS HAPPENING AT ONCE,
YEAH, IT WAS REALLY HARD. >> Stephen: HOW FAR AWAY
FROM WHERE YOU GREW UP? >> Lady Gaga: I GREW UP
UPTOWN. QUITE A WAYS AWAY FROM
THERE. UPPER WEST SIDE. BUT I MOVED WHEN I WAS 17 TO
ABOUT 20 BLOCKS FROM HERE JUST ON THE EAST SIDE. >> Stephen: FOR NONNEW
YORKERS, CAN YOU COMPARE THE VIBE OF THE LOWER EAST SIDE
AND UPPER WEST SIDE? >> Lady Gaga: VERY
DIFFERENT. VERY DIFFERENT VIBES. THE UPPER WEST SIDE WILL
ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART BECAUSE IT’S WHERE
I GREW UP BUT I DIDN’T REALLY FIT IN AT SCHOOL. WHEN I MOVED TO THE LOWER
EAST SIDE HERE, I JUST FOUND MY PEOPLE. WHEN I WOULD COME HERE TO
PLAY, THIS WAS LIKE THE MOST JOYOUS AND THE MOST WARMTH
THAT I EVER FELT. BECAUSE I WOULD WALK IN. IT WAS LIKE AN INSTANT
FAMILY. WHEN YOU BUILD COMMUNITY
LIKE THAT WITH PEOPLE, YOU START TO BELIEVE YOU’VE GOT
SOMETHING. YOU FEEL HELD BY THEM. YOU KNOW. I THAT WAS VERY POWERFUL. I AM VERY HUMBLED SITTING
HERE WITH YOU, YOU KNOW. ‘CAUSE IT’S LIKE — THIS IS
WHERE JUST ALL STARTED. MY LOVE OF MUSIC IN MY LOVE
OF COMMUNITY AND MY LOVE OF MUSICIANS, MY LOVE OF
WRITING SONGS AND PRODUCING, IT’S AS OLD AS, IT’S AS OLD
AS THIS CARPET. >> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, METS
OR YANKEES. >> Lady Gaga: YANKEES. >> Stephen: NIX OR NETS OR
LIBERTY. >> Lady Gaga: NIX. >> Stephen: BEST CORNER OF
NEW YORK CITY? >> Lady Gaga: 72ND STREET. >> Stephen: BEST SLICE? >> Lady Gaga: RAYS. >> Stephen: WERE SUBWAY
LINE. >> Lady Gaga: I THINK IT’S
THE L. L. IT TAKES SO LONG. THE L TAKES FOREVER. FOREVER I SPENT ON THE L. SPOON BANGLE ORDER. >> Lady Gaga: OKAY. OKAY. THERE IS TOO BAD ALL ORDERS. THERE IS THE TOASTED BUTTER
BANLE. WALK-IN. TBD. LOCKS, CREAM CHEESE, TOMATO,
SALT AND PEPPER. >> Stephen: I DARE YOU TO
RANK THE BURROS. NO ONE IS GOING TO BE UPSET. >> Lady Gaga: NOT A CHANCE. >> Stephen: START WITH
STATEN ISLAND. >> Lady Gaga: FORGET IT. >> Stephen: WHEN WE RETURN,
LADY GAGA TALKS ABOUT PERFORMING TO 2.5 MILLION
PEOPLE IN BRAZIL. STICK AROUND.
