Lady Gaga has admitted that she is "married to loneliness".
The controversial singer opened up to Asia's Star TV and said that the time she spends alone helps to make her who she is as an artist.
Gaga has an on-again, off-again relationship with barman Luc Carl but says that her work is her life.
"We wallow in loneliness and solitude our whole lives in search of the answer to hundreds and millions of questions that run through my mind," she said.
"Yes I'm lonely, but I'm married to my loneliness."
