Which of the following about Gaga is INCORRECT? [br]
M: On this, our 25th anniversary week here at CNN, we’re so excited to welcome Lady Gaga to LARRY KING LIVE. She’s the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, musician, performance artist whose provocative videos have been viewed more than one billion times online. Gaga, welcome.
W: Thanks.
M: Well, you have sold more than 15 million albums and 40 million singles worldwide. And "TIME" magazine recently published this annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. And you were on the cover as one of those people. Were you surprised about that?
W: Yes, of course. I was so surprised. I didn’t even imagine that I would make the list at all. And I was so excited, and I am very blessed to have the wonderful fans that I do who voted for me.
M: OK. You were born Stefani—why did you change your—how did you come up with Lady Gaga?
W: Well, it was actually a nickname that some of my friends called me in New York. I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song "Radio Gaga."
M: At what age growing up, Gaga, did you know that you wanted to be a performer?
W: At my birth. I guess you could say it’s always been my destiny to be a performer. I used to perform even just in restaurants with my family or in the living room. But it’s been really a very exciting transition now that I get to do this for a living. And I just refuse to stop.
M: Before you were a performer, did you have any other jobs?
W: Yes, well, I was a waitress for many years. And a bartender. And I was a dancer briefly as well. I used to make a lot of money to pay for demos and flyers that I used to post up all around the New York University area on the lower east side to get people to come see my shows. I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up. And I used to take all the money I made waitressing so that I could go watch jazz downtown.
M: Wow. You said that people use the word icon carelessly. Do you consider yourself an icon?
W: No, I do not. I hope when I’m dead I’ll be considered an icon, though.
M: Who are your icons? Who does Lady Gaga look up to?
W: Who do I look up to? My mother. My grandmother. I love Princess Diana. So much. She has—was an enormous influence on me when I was younger because my mother worshipped her so much. Her story, how she began, what she married into, how her society affected her as a woman. I was always very fascinated with Princess Diana. When she died, it was—I’ll never forget. My mother was crying, sitting on the couch watching the news, and I was very young. And it was this very powerful moment in my childhood watching my mother so connected to someone. So I guess you could say she is one of my biggest icons. As well as, you know, David Bowie, wonderful.
M: Did the family encourage you to sing and dance and perform?
W: Yes. My mother was actually in musical theater when she was younger, and my dad was in a Bruce Springsteen cover band for many’ years. He was a real Jersey Shore boy. And they were always very supportive. They always—you know, I think more than anything in my house growing up, my parents instilled a very strong work ethic in me and my sisters. So as long as I worked hard at whatever it is that I wanted to do, they were OK with me doing it. But if I was ever lazy, I would—I would reckon that they would perhaps not want me to do it.
M: How did you come up with the idea—the incredible idea of these costumes? Of not just singing and dancing, but the way you present yourself. How did that come about?
W: Well, some of the things I wear are obviously created for me by designers or they’re recreations of archives of things worn in the ’70s and in the ’80s. But lots of the newer more original pieces, they’re meant to be kind of a rejection of what people view about women. I am a feminist. And I want to change the way people view women and change. I’m trying to push the limits, push the boundaries as much as I can. And I also really love—love the way I dress. And it brings me a personal joy and satisfaction in my own life that I like to share with my fans. I also try to create things that are quite easy for my fans to replicate. Some of them not so much. But some of them are very easy for my fans to replicate, and that bonds us in a way. It’s quite nice to have this connection to them outside of everything else.
M: OK. This is CNN, and we have Lady Gaga tonight Stay tuned, we’ll be right back.
