00:13but not at the expense of her personal life or sanity.

00:21and her new album, which, according to Gaga, is influenced by everything from 90s alternative

00:27and electro grunge to Prince and David Bowie, reflects her new frame of mind.

01:38Sometimes I worry people will say I'm boring these days,

01:40but honestly, thank God I'm boring, because I was living on the edge.

01:44I don't know what was going to happen to me living that way.

01:47On the one hand, I'm like, oh man, snooze fest.

01:50But actually, I'm so grateful, because I found a sense of happiness and joy that is true to me.
