She's well known for her over-the-top fashion designs, but she's also a talented musician. While growing up in Manhattan, she began learning how to play the piano at age four.Gaga will grace the March cover of Harper's BAZAAR, and in an interview with the magazine, she talked about her recent struggle with depression.BAZAAR: What\u2019s something that you\u2019re better at now than when you were younger?Gaga: I am better with food. I don\u2019t have an eating disorder anymore. I\u2019m also better at not letting people take advantage of me. Five years ago, when I spotted someone with a hidden agenda, I allowed them to stay around me. I didn\u2019t want to believe it. I thought if I ignored it, then they would eventually see me again\u2014that I\u2019m a human being and not a doll. But it doesn\u2019t work that way. I speak up now. I realized that it\u2019s my own fault that people take advantage. I should be around people who cherish my talents, my\u00A0health, my time. I\u2019m not a pawn for anyone\u2019s future business. I\u2019m an artist. I deserve better than to be loyal to people who only believe in me because I make money.BAZAAR: What\u2019s the biggest thing you\u2019ve learned about yourself so far?Gaga: I became very depressed at the end of 2013. I was exhausted fighting people off. I couldn\u2019t even feel my own heartbeat. I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness like an anchor dragging everywhere I go. I just didn\u2019t feel like fighting anymore. I didn\u2019t feel like standing up for myself one more time\u2014to one more person who lied to me. But January 1, I woke up, started crying again, and I looked in the mirror and said, \u201CI know you don\u2019t want to fight. I know you think you can\u2019t, but you\u2019ve done this before. I know it hurts, but you won\u2019t survive this depression.\u201D I really felt like I was dying--my light completely out. I said to myself, \u201CWhatever is left in there, even just one light molecule, you will find it and make it multiply. You have to for you. You have to for your music. You have to for your fans and your family.\u201D Depression doesn\u2019t take away your talents--it just makes them harder to find. But I always find it. I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that\u2019s left. I\u2019m lucky I found one little glimmer stored away.BAZAAR: What is your home like?Gaga: My \u201Chome\u201D is a controversial topic. I don\u2019t exactly have one. I live all over the world. I keep a small rental in New York, where I hang many of my hats when I come to see my parents and New York pals. It\u2019s like a tiny jewel box, covered in rose-gold mirrors,\u00A0with an oversize pink couch, an expensive vase, a white Marilyn piano, and a boudoir. I do not keep a lot of clothes here -- mostly punk wear. And the three most expensive items I\u2019ve ever purchased, including an actual house: my sable, a strand of diamonds, and my Mikimoto pearls.MORE: 15 facts about Lady Gaga"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
