From The Mouth Of Babes: Lady Gaga Opens Up To New York Mag

“Pop stars should not eat,” Lady Gaga aka Stefani Germanotta (aka Big Boobs McGee, her high school nickname) told New York Magazine a year ago, and they finally got around to publishing her quote today, because how can the world be deprived of a golden gem like that falling from a pop star's lips? Some more nuggets of wisdom from the interview, below.

Her memory will live on forever:

“A year from now, I could go away, and people might say, ‘Gosh, what ever happened to that girl who never wore pants?’ But how wonderfully memorable 30 years from now, when they say, ‘Do you remember Gaga and her bubbles?’ Because, for a minute, everybody in that room will forget every sad, painful thing in their lives, and they’ll just live in my bubble world.”

She is a true method actress:

I remember the first time that I drank out of an imaginary coffee cup,” she says, closing her eyes. “That’s the very first thing they teach you. I can feel the rain, too, when it’s not raining.” Her lids pop open. “I don’t know if this is too much for your magazine, but I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm.” She hisses a little, like one of the deviant vampires in True Blood. “You know, sense memory is quite powerful.”

Live fast, die onstage?

“I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.”

Hopefully that last quote wasn't a prophecy about the end of Gaga.
