STORY: Singer Lady Gaga sat down with Oprah Winfrey for what she said will be her last official press appearance for a while.

During the chat, which is scheduled to air on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), the veteran talk show host asked Gaga how she gets in the mood to create music.

Gaga also exposed details about love, marriage and the possibility of children.

For the first time ever Gaga's mother, Cynthia Germanotta, revealed what it was like raising the megastar.

"When Gaga started emerging, when she was performing I think it was at Joe's Pub downtown. And she was in her bikini performing 'Lady Starlight' and decided that night to heavy metal to actually light hairspray on fire. And some people left when that happened and a lot of people stayed and thought it was cool. But her father and I were like, honesty, he said, 'I think she has a screw loose,'" said Germanotta, causing Winfrey to burst into laughter.

The two-hour long interview was conducted at Gaga's childhood home in New York City. The interview will air on Sunday, March 18th, from 9pm EDT (0100 GMT) on OWN.
