The `Born This Way` hitmaker insists she will always live in the New York neighbourhood where she grew up as she was left thoroughly unimpressed after a brief stint on the Hollywood party scene. She said: "I actually made a choice to keep my life pretty normal. "Some point about two years ago I said to myself, `OK, am I going to put my toe in Hollywood`s pond and figure out if I want to live a glamorous life and assimilate to the glamorous lifestyle`, but I really didn`t want to do it. "And I don`t like Hollywood and I don`t like the whole scene and I just said, `I`m going to go home and figure out how to be the first popstar to live in the same neighbourhood for the rest of their life that I grew up in`, and that`s what I do. "I still live where I always lived, I still hang out and drink whisky at the same bars. I still go to the same hardware store." Tough she uses a stage name, the eccentric star - real name Stefani Germanotta -insisted that fans always see her as she really is. She told 2Day FM`s Kyle & Jackie O Show: "I`ve become more and more confident as a woman and a don`t make any distinction between myself as Stefani, my birth name and myself, Gaga. "It`s just a nickname, I`m the same person through and through physically. Who my fans see that`s really who I am and they have never complained to me about it. If they do I will certainly be listening to it and paying attention as I want them to be happy."
