Lady Gaga has admitted that she often feels “insecure”, despite her seemingly confident and glamourous exterior.

The singer told Rolling Stone that she was only able to appear in public after having words with herself.

"When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl,” she said. “Then I say, 'Bitch, you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today'."

As previously reported, Lady Gaga also used the interview to speak about her new album, which is due to be released early next year.

The US star also revealed that she was trying to model herself on Michael Jackson.

Lady Gaga is currently enjoying a break before her Monster Ball tour resumes in North America later this month.
