The "Born This Way" hitmaker shared a transformative experience while in Osaka at 23. She was pondering her purpose in life in the deepest hour of the night, and suddenly, a question popped into her mind, "would you die if you were forbidden to write?" This question prompted her to search deep within herself until she finally arrived at an answer, "Muss ich schreiben? [Must I write?]'"

For her, writing is not just a means to success, and even if she hadn't achieved the level of success she currently enjoys, she would still be writing, driven by an unquenchable desire to express herself through words.

As she gave a glimpse into her private life, the pop icon shared that despite what many people assume, her life is not dominated by Hollywood.

"I know that because I don't spend much time in Hollywood. I might look like I do because sometimes award season happens, and you see me on red carpets. But I'm very much at home working. That's the thing that makes me happy," she noted.

Per The Guardian, the artist explained that her travels worldwide had given her a unique perspective on wealth, happiness, and personal values.

She recounted, "I have traveled the world and seen the happiest people in the poorest parts of the world. Their values are intact. In the richest homes, I meet the saddest and most depressed people."

With this realization, Gaga created her album "Joanne" to remind her fans and the world that love and kindness are essential in life. In a world where the pursuit of fame and celebrity is often glorified, she believes that compassion and love create harmony and connection between people rather than the pursuit of fame and celebrity.
