“That’s My Next Starring Role, I Hope” – Lady Gaga Says She’s Ready To Start A Family
♪ ♪ >> Stephen: HEY,
EVERBODY. AND NOW THE THRILLING
CONCLUSION OF WHAT HISTORIANS ARE ALREADY
CALLING MY INTERVIEW WITH LADY GAGA. THERE IS A THEORY THAT
ARTISTS HAVE TO SUFFER TO CREATE GREAT ART. IT’S ONE OF THE ASPECTS OF
HUMAN EXPERIENCE, THEREFORE THERE’S A WAY TO CONNECT
WITH OTHER PEOPLE SINCE LIFE ITSELF CAN BE A FORM OF
SUFFERING FOR MANY PEOPLE. YOU SEEM LIKE YOU’RE IN A
VERY GOOD PLACE RIGHT NOW. IS A HAPPY ARTIST AS
PRODUCTIVE AS THE ONE WHO IS WILL BE PERCEIVED OF AS
TORTURE? >> Lady Gaga: WITHOUT A
DOUBT. >> Stephen: IT’S NOT A
BURDEN YOU HAVE TO CARRY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO CARRY
TRAUMA IN ORDER TO SPEAK TO IT? >> Lady Gaga: NO, NO, NO. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE
FEEL THIS WAY. THIS IS AN AGE-OLD TALE OF
THE TORTURED ARTIST SUFFERING FOR THEIR ART. I THINK MY LONGTIME FRIEND
SARAH AND MAKEUP ARTIST, SHE SAID TO ME, SHE SAID WHEN
ICU, I SEE HOW MUCH LOVE HAS CHANGED YOUR LIFE. >> Stephen: HOW MUCH OF THE
GOOD PLACE YOU’RE IN RIGHT NOW HAS TO DO WITH YOUR
RECENT ENGAGEMENT TO MICHAEL POLANSKY? WHAT HAS THIS MAN DONE FOR
YOU? >> Lady Gaga: I MEAN, HE’S
MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD. WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT YOUR
BEST FRIEND? >> Stephen: HOW DID YOU
MEET? >> Lady Gaga: WE MET THROUGH
MY MOM. >> Stephen: THAT’S NICE. >> Lady Gaga: MY MOM MET HIM
AND SET UP OF WHAT I THINK I MET YOUR HUSBAND.” HE BLEW ME AWAY FROM THE
MOMENT THAT I MET HIM. HE ALWAYS I THINK REALLY SAW
ME AND I THINK I ALWAYS REALLY SAW HIM. I FELT THAT RIGHT AWAY. AND IT WAS VERY POWERFUL. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I
DON’T THINK I’D EVER FELT WITH ANYONE BEFORE. ESPECIALLY AT THAT TIME IN
MY LIFE. AND HE’S JUST LIKE
INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT AND SWEET AND KIND. HE JUST FIGHTS FOR ME EVERY
DAY. I THINK I FELT FOR A LONG
TIME LIKE I WAS NAVIGATING THIS THING ON MY OWN AND IT
WAS HARD. AND IT’S NOT ANYMORE. I’M VERY LUCKY. I FEEL REALLY GRATEFUL. >> Stephen: HOW DID HE
PROPOSE? >> Lady Gaga: WE WENT ROCK
CLIMBING. WE WERE IN UTAH. AFTER WE GOT BACK, HE
PROPOSED TO ME AND IT WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE. >> Stephen: CAN I SEE THE
ENGAGEMENT RING? IS THE — IS THIS THE ROCKY
RECLINING? >> Lady Gaga: HE PROPOSED TO
ME WITH A BLADE OF GRASS. HE MADE IT INTO RING. WE MADE A SONG ABOUT IT. >> Stephen: HE IS NOT JUST
YOUR ROMANTIC PARTNER AND HUSBAND TO BE. HE IS A CREATIVE PARTNER. >> Lady Gaga: YES. >> Stephen: EXECUTIVE
PRODUCER ON “MAYHEM.” AND COWROTE SONGS. DOES THAT MAKE YOU NERVOUS
TO WORK WITH YOUR LOVED ONE? MY WIFE AND V AND I, WE
ALWAYS WANT TO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER BUT I WAS ALWAYS
VERY NERVOUS. WHAT IF WE DIDN’T LIKE IT. WHAT YOU DO? WHAT IF IT WASN’T A GOOD
PROFESSIONAL — NOT EVERY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP IS A
PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP. DOESN’T MAKE YOU YOU
NERVOUS? >> Lady Gaga: NO. IT WAS SO NATURAL. HE HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER AS A
POET, AS A WRITER, AS A CREATIVE THINKER, AND WHEN
WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER, HE ALSO, HE CAN PUSH ME IN WAYS
THAT I CAN’T PUSH MYSELF. I’M SURE YOU’VE EXPERIENCED
THIS WITH YOUR WIFE. THEY KNOW THINGS — >
Stephen: SHE CAN GIVE ME NOTES OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT
GET. >> Lady Gaga: THEY KNOW
THINGS ABOUT YOU THAT YOU MAY BE DON’T ALWAYS WANT TO
ADMIT IN YOUR WORK. HE’LL SAY, LIKE, IS THAT
REALLY WHAT YOU MEAN? OR DO YOU MEAN THIS? IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT THAT? OR I THOUGHT THAT MADE YOU
ANGRY. THAT DIDN’T MAKE YOU FEEL
HAPPY. IT’S LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS
ABLE TO YOU CONFRONT THINGS AND GO DEEPER. >> Stephen: IN 2018 I HAVE
THE PLEASURE OF GUSHING AT YOU ABOUT YOUR PERFORMANCE
AND “A STAR IS BORN.” THAT WAS YOUR FILM DEBUT. SINCE THEN, YOU’VE CONTINUED
TO ACT. YOU HAVE JUST POPPED UP IN
THE SERIES “WEDNESDAY.” IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT
TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO
BROADWAY? >> Lady Gaga: I WOULD LIKE
TO DO MANY THINGS, YEAH. ALL OF THESE THINGS. WHAT I REALLY WANT IS TO BE
A MOM. THAT’S MY NECK STARRING
ROLE, I HOPE. >> Stephen: GOOD LUCK. >> Lady Gaga: THANK YOU. >> Stephen: YOU’RE ALREADY
ALREADY A MOTHER MONSTER. ARE THEY STILL YOUR LITTLE
MONSTERS QUESTIONING. >> Lady Gaga: WHATEVER THEY
WANT ME TO CALL THEM. >> Stephen: IS THERE A
LITTLE LADY GAGA ACTION FIGURE? >> Lady Gaga: AT THIS STAGE
IN MY LIFE I DON’T FEEL LIKE A PRODUCT ANYMORE. WHAT A CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN. AND I THINK THAT “MAYHEM”
WAS ME CIRCLING BACK, THIS ALBUM WAS ME CIRCLING BACK
TO ALL OF THE MUSIC THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH. MY PRODUCTION STYLE, MY
SONGWRITING, MY LOVE OF THIS DARK POETRY AND CELEBRATING
THAT IT’S MINE AND I’M MAKING IT FOR ME. AND THEN I CAN FEEL
EMPOWERED AS A WOMAN IN MUSIC WITH A BEAUTIFUL
PARTNER THAT HAS MY BACK EVERY DAY. BEING EMPOWERED AS A WOMAN
IN NEARLY 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. I JUST FEEL SO GRATEFUL TO
STILL BE HERE. AND I AM SO AWARE WITH THAT
PIANO SO CLOSE TO US HOW LONG IT TOOK AND WHAT IT
TOOK. >> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH
FOR TALKING TO ME TODAY. IT’S ALWAYS LOVELY. >> Lady Gaga: THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME AND
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I’M JUST SO HAPPY TO HAVE
HAD THIS TALK WITH YOU TODAY. >> Stephen: LADY GAGA’S
LATEST ALBUM, “MAYHEM,” IS OUT NOW AND YOU CAN CATCH
HER LIVE ON THE MAYHEM BALL TOUR. THANK YOU AGAIN, STEFANI! WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK!

Amazing interview. This needs to be a playlist on your YT channel.
So very happy for her.
Lady gaga is one of the true greats
😉JTR FROM OKLAHOMA🤗
Him calling her Stefani was so sweet ❤️
Holy geeze, we need more Lady Stephanie in our lives.
He looks just like her dad. She spends a large portion of her career writing songs about a a**hole ex. Now at the typical age she wants marriage with this man, calling him her best friend, even though she hasn't known him anywhere close to as long as her other 'friends', and now her 'everything' in life is to start a family. In the end she is just a basic brainwashed woman. I thought talent and art would have saved her from being basic. In the end she can't exist without a man and a having a family.
Being in love looks good on her! I wish her all the happiness and love!
Amazing series of interviews!
Stephen and GaGa talk deep and light!
You are not a product. You are a prize to those who see you and are blown away by your gifts.
This made me emotional….what a beautiful interview!
Love or not when it comes to her music—after all, we all have different tastes—but we can all agree that Lady Gaga is an icon and she deserves all the happiness, the success, the accollades and love thrown her way.
She genuinely loves music and her craft and she understands the responsibilities an artist has in connecting humanity together with each other.
Thank you for sharing with us such a wonderful interview.
I’m not crying, WE’RE ALL CRYING! 🥺🥲
Michael – thank you for the love you have given to Stefani. She is so worthy to love and be loved. ♥️♥️
She is just glowing with love
And mayhem is even better than her first album it is so so good
I wish her all the babies !! ❤️
My fiance proposed to me I'ma VERY similar way, except we were kayaking and he proposed with a reed that he shaped into a ring!!!!! OMG that is uncanny. I'm SOOO happy for her, I've been following her since the beginning and she is such an icon, I love seeing her at her best!!!!
💜💜💜💜💜💜
When a man and woman find love, it is a beatiful thing that uplifts every aspect of their lives just the way the Father in heaven intended it
As a little monster since Just Dance, to say Lady Gaga is an inspiration is an understatement. She's already a mother to her fans, a high-energy figure and one who never fears experimenting with new creative directions. Her eccentricity at least in her work is what makes her one of a kind. I'm so really proud to regard her as my idol.
What a superb interview and Stephen is the best at what he does! ❤❤❤Lady GaGa! Bring Stephen's show back to late night tv! 🙏🏻
This news is easy to understand.
She always makes me cry❤️❤️❤️🥲
