"I didn't realy understand why I should live, other then to be there for my family." That hit hard.

He is the BEST interviewer. Did he really just show EMPATHY as an interviewer. Wow.

As a victim of human trafficking I appreciate Gaga speaking on this. I was raped and sold from the ages of 13-16 and it mentally hurts me daily. And her talking about objectification resonates with me so well cause at first I thought that’s what I needed to survive and now it’s what triggers me

Words can't describe how much I love her. She's so honest with herself and others. Her music has helped me get through tough times in my life. Chromatica is such a masterpiece. My daughters love her too. She's a lovely and brave soul.

"if you isolate yourself for too long, you'll end up staring off into space somewhere by yourself"

it's crazy how so many regular people want to be rich and famous but so many rich and famous people just want to be regular

It’s basically an unbalanced development of character vs personality. It’s who you are vs who you are to others.

"I thought I could fix my dad" That brought tears to my eyes

She basically said what everybody should know about her. Stefani and Gaga are different people; Gaga is her celebrity side, and Stefani is her normal person side.

I agree with her. It's very easy to justify or romantize pain (physical or mental) by saying " this event made me stronger, made me realize X, made me apreciate Y". No. No one needs to suffer to be anyone or to learn anything. Toxic positivity

"I was writing about the trauma in my father's life that became my trauma in some ways"

And THIS is why she is an amazing human. Authenticity, kindness, and real talk combined with an abundance of gifts.

I cant believe people still don’t appreciate this album for what it is.

The Joanne part is my favorite in this interview. Her most authentic era but the most underrated.

Dealing with PTSD, I can’t even imagine how hard it must be to have people constantly pawing at you & trying to touch you all the time.... I can’t deal with being touched & am REALLY trying to get over it because I miss it, but PTSD/trauma makes it hard... you get anxious and afraid.. so I don’t even know how she handles it honestly... I have overwhelming empathy for her 💜

I don't like when she says "Even if I don't want to be alive.." I'm worried about her. Her heart is as big as her talent.

No lie. Before hearing this interview, I would have grabbed my phone to take a selfie with her if I ever saw her! I have been a fan since The Fame and it pains me to her hear talk like this, but like everyone else, she is human and deserves to be treated as one. I hope the people who can directly reach her constantly remind her that she is loved and that she continues to find reasons to love herself. Lady Gaga, if you’re reading this: you are an inspiration and you are loved by so many! 💖

I pray for famous people as well as every person who struggles with mental illness. It's very real and they're human. May God use them to reach millions of suffering people.

I just can’t get why people cannot comprehend that celebrities are just as human as anybody else. People are people.

she's so easily honest...she lays her heart and soul open like butter 💜

I ask myself the very same question everyday: why I should live other than to be here for my family? I've been listening to "911" on repeat. It's as if someone finally understood my pain.

So glad she is raising awareness of mental health! you’re not alone GAga! Thank you for Being so genuine (as always !)

this is the best interview i've heard her. it has to be honest & mysterious at the same time and this is wheree it really is

She is such a beautiful soul. And I'm glad that she decided to stick around bit longer. We would be lesser without her loving heart and compassionate soul. The world needs kindness in truck loads and she pours it into this world wherever she goes and whoever she meets.

I remember Trixie and Katya quoting Gaga's "Fame is like a prison" saying that is the most pretentious thing ever but we can never imagine what it really is like to be in her shoes. Her life is one lived in constant isolation for fear of safety. She can't go do normal everyday things we take for granted. If she went out in sweats she'll be front page on tabloids. Strangers will take photos of you and your friends see you as a walking ATM machine. The level of scrutiny and attention these world famous celebs have to endure is something we can never fully imagine. It's all glamorous on paper, but probably a nightmare in real life.

Now people know what Britney went trough and why she broke down

Lady Gaga is pure, raw talent. Madonna doesn't even come close to what this woman is.

Just because she’s a pop star doesn’t mean she’s perfect.

One of the greatest things about Chromatica it's the fact that Gaga is helping a lot of people all there.... This album has some power to heal the mental breakdowns because It comes from a place of love, realness and help. Gaga's story is an exemple to keep going on... day after day.... until we'll love ourselves again.

Love the interview but I'm annoyed by his nose sticking out of the mask 😂

She is very intense and she feels everything intensively. Hypersensitiveness is not easy (I know what I am talking about) but it is emplified because of the fame. I send her a lots of love!

Lady Gaga is so precious. WE MUST PROTECT HER AT ANY COST. ❤️ She really is the ray of sunshine in this dark time. 🌞

Gaga if you see this, I wanna say thank you for everything you've done, for your fans, for mental health issues and equality, so far in your career! We love you and keep doing these things for a better world! Let your music speak and heal everyone in the world!!!

She is so incredible. A generational talent and an awesome person.

I totally feel her pain Can't believe she had to go through all of this

we all have "Little devils" within ourselves but not many are brave to confess like Gaga do. Love her.

Absolutely adore Stephanie 💞 I’m a nobody, disabled veteran that completely understands. 🙏🏼 God’s speed.

I waited 11 years to see her live. When I did, I didn't record her at all. I wanted to be in the moment with her and I feel like theres PLENTY of photos of her already.

This is how you do an interview no judgements, no shady questions and only let people tell a story

I LOVE her friggin authenticity, and the thing is, she was like that since she first hit the scene.

She will always be our Monster Queen ❤️

Love you, Lady Gaga for being all that you can be. As a wise woman once said, "Never doubt that you are valuable and powerful" and in the world of music and outside, you can be both of those adjectives. Be strong, stay safe, and keep faith alive within you!

Hang in there young lady. You have so much to offer. The hope and happiness you spread is immeasurable. All my love Richard

It’s amazing sometimes how someone who obviously has so much to offer and is so amazingly talented can be so troubled. I am very proud of the fact that you have the courage and strength to speak publicly about your problems. People who are not Lady GaGa will listen to this and say if you can do it I can to.

I can relate in some ways myself. Just because I have ADHD, suffer from anxiety and depression, I can still have a normal life.

You give me hope GaGa. I’ve been you’re fan since the beginning of your career. I’ve always had anxiety & depression but I’ve been suffering from fibromyalgia from PTSD for about seven years. Some days are so difficult & my body is in so much pain that I don’t want to get out of bed. So many times I’ve wanted to give you up but seeing you concur the world with art & kindness, it’s instilled an ethic of kindness & compassion. I’ve loved watching you grow & I could never thank you enough for the gift you’ve given me. For what you’ve taught the world. Love you now & always. 💜

I don't listen to her genre of music, but I find her fascinating and her lyrics real. She seem like the real deal human. As a fellow chronic pain warrior, I hope she is doing better. I wish her many leftover spoons.

I could have literally said this entire interview word for word. Minus the fame & singing part, but the anxiety, the loneliness, the suicidal thoughts? All of it. I've always been a fan of her music but since this new album came out, I have completely fallen in love with her

I have this strong urge to want to hug her. Bless her heart. I'm so glad she is still with us and she is sharing her story... even encouraging others. The world is a better place with her in it.

This lady helped me love myself, gave me confidence to feel comfortable in my body and personality from being bullied at school

Everything she talks about (besides the fame aspects) it's like she's retelling my own life with the mental health struggles. Love you Gaga. We grow stronger together.

gaga we will always love

I’m not big on her pop persona, but I do love her emotional depth and appreciate her keeping it real. 🥰

6:54 "Even if I don't want to be alive I know how to write a song!" Powerful statement!

She's amazing. "I Didn't really understand why I should live, other than to be with my family." That's deep. She has a huge heart and more talent in her pinky finger than most have in their whole bodies.

Loved this! Always real, raw, and honest!

Mental Health ya'll : the new pandemic! I've been there myself. Take care of yourself boos. Get intimate with your inner landscape & become a loving explorer of your experience. And don't forget to breathe! Long Live Gaga!!

She is so real and sincere with her sharing and I can only try to feel the triggers that she has to go through everyday with everyone sticking their nose into her life. I wish her all the best.

Happy to see her overcoming her depression; we all have our times of darkness and celebrities seem to have fewer opportunities to open up about them to friends.

Depression is a disease of progress

I was suicidal for over 25 years. After my husband died it was EVERYDAY, I wanted out. I'm going to torture everyone around me that made me stay! JK. I'm doing so much better.. so believe in a healing and receive!

And suddenly I don’t feel alone anymore ❤️

Beautiful interview showing a side of Stefani most of us would miss on a Gaga stage. So much pain to relate to and wisdom any of us could need to hear. So much love. So much humanity.

In the words of Maria Callas "You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there."

Love her hair beautiful on her

She is very smart and mature. More than people twice her age.

She’s a True Inspiration - Loved her from Day 1, and always will do. When I’m having a bad day; or feel my mental health relapse, I listen to the amazing music and words to lift me up xx

Thank you CBS for this amazing interview

i can’t describe how much i love her.❤️

She is such an amazing and beautiful human being. I think it's safe to say she has helped a lot of us. She certainly helped me

This is sadly seen over and over again in celebrity’s. They can’t take the fame anymore .

I’m surprised she felt that way. She’s always been a uniquely talented lady. I love that song “A Thousand Doves”. It’s so beautiful! I wanna read the book when it comes out!

She's so deep wherever i watch her interviews i see that ❣️❣️

Tearing up watching This. She speaks and shows how many of us feel. It is a silent, invisible illness that effects us every day . Beautiful soul. A gift from God. Her energy, her heart and soul are beautiful. Almost heavenly ❤️

I’m glad she’s in a better state mentally and physically. They’re both so so funny important and you literally can’t have one without the other. Stay strong everyone, you got this life❤️

This interview was so honest and relatable. I'll be forever thankful for her existence

Thank you for re-uploading with a photo of Lady Gaga instead of the impersonator ♥

She seem to be so extremely honest and opened, not much people who could do the same

I hope and pray she finds peace and remembers that she is loved. God bless her.

So inspired.. Everyone has gone through all those things in life.. In the end, we all accept ourselves and learned to love ourselves

The modern world has allowed us to be alone more than ever for the first time in history younger & longer. That can be addicting until it's overwhelming and you're drowning. Only there is no one to grab your hand and help you when you're at the bottom...

I'm not sure I've ever heard anybody be so honest about feeling so crappy. Your authenticity is priceless and heart wrenching as always. You are so right about female friends. I've had wonderful friendships in my life and they have sustained me. Thanks so much for reminding me. I keep telling myself that life is often isolated when you get older. True. But it doesn't feel good! And good lord, my reaction to running into you would be to tear up and thank you and ask how you are doing. So imagine that. Glad you are feeling better. Glad the youtube algorithm brought me to this interview. Reminds me of how rich it is to listen to someone speak so personally.

She's always been such a strong person during many trying times. Here's to hoping she only gets better and better! We love you, Mother Monster!

I love her ! She has an amazing heart and soul ! She seems like such a loving person.. depression is painful, keep being strong !

Early early in her career there is footage of her celebrating her popularity and quest for fame. She has grown up so much👏 I wish for her too be able to grocery shop in peace🙏 You are so very humble, Lady❤️

I wish I could give you a big motherly hug Stephanie. Life is so complicated and messy. We're all feeling our way around. You are a light in a cold dark world. Stay well, we need you!

I love her strength that she shows by letting her to be seen for who/what she is , her vulnerability touches me. I love you, eternally Steff❤️❤️❤️🌟✨♾️

why do people hate on her? she is amazing.. she spreads kindness and positivity and feels like this.. we don't deserve her

💞 I love everything about her ... I feel like she’s so REAL! Ive loved her for so many years now! Her personality is so nice...and of course I love every song that she’s ever made! And who else was supposed to go to the Chromatica ball this summer?! I was! I know all the words to every one of her songs! I am her biggest fan!

You are strong woman lady gaga you are my idol keep strong God love you so much more power idol....

The way she said no when he asked if she was able to fix her dad breaks my heart

People need to realize that celebrities are human also

"It's not always easy if you have mental issues to let other people see." You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you do, you scare people away or face ridicule, and if you don't they think you're being rude when you set boundaries to protect your mental health. Or, worse, they judge you as lazy/self-centered when you can't meet obligations or expectations. Our culture is not kind to those struggling with mental illness.

Thank you so much 💓 Your honesty and testimony is incredibly brave. And inspirational!! Blessings!!

I can totally see how hard it is to be a star, you have to be one strong mama to stay mentally and emotionally and physically happy. I know she is and was made for changing the world for the better ♥️

Sweet Stephanie, it seems that we get hit with the most profound every 30 years. Thank you for being here. We See beyond the mask🌹💖

"I didn't know why I should live other than to be there for my family." I cannot relate to this enough.

Thank you my lovely Lady Gaga for being a part of my life and open so easily your heart to us, I’ll never stop loving you girl 🥺😩💗💕

It is so refreshing to see her admit that she has been dealing with the same things as we all area
