“I didn’t know you were Italian. I remember when we first met, after 10 minutes we were eating homemade food that she cooked – I love to eat – and that was actually a huge bond that we both came from East Coast Italian-American families. So we had a real synchronicity on that level from our upbringing,” he said to Gaga, further admitting that he “fell in love with her face and eyes.”

“It’s a story about love and about what Bradley refers to as the human plight of addiction. It was a remarkable experience for me,” added Gaga regarding the movie.

“When I started out in the music industry and decided to be a singer and go for a processional career I was 19 years and I hit the ground running. I was dragging my piano from dive bar to dive bar to get jobs so that I could sing and perform for people…when I started out, I was not the most beautiful girl in the room. [Producers] wanted to take my songs and give it to other singers but (…) I held on to them. They made suggestions about how I should look. … but I didn’t want to be viewed like other women, be sexy like other women. I wanted to have my own vision.”
