Lady Gaga: I feel insecure every morning

Lady Gaga says she wakes up feeling like "any other insecure 24-year-oldgirl" until she remembers she`s a pop star.

The outrageous singer is famous for her bizarre outfits, regularly leaving herhouse in nothing but her underwear. She has slimmed down dramatically since shooting to fame last year, and while her body is now trim and toned, the staradmits she is still prone to bouts of self-doubt.

Gaga says she often starts her day feeling unconfident, but then reminds herself of who she is, and vows to "walk the walk" regardless.

"When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl," the singer told the July issue of Rolling Stone magazine."Then I say, `B***h, you`re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.`"

Gaga is so committed to her larger-than-life persona, she doesn`t even drink water onstage. She models herself on Michael Jackson because never put on jeans and a T-shirt at the end of the day and started behaving like any other person.

"If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I`d come out as Gaga," she told the publication.

"Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business.

"That`s what we do. I don`t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music."
