Lady Gaga wants to get sober "at some point" in the future.
The ‘Bad Romance’ singer admits she still struggles with depression and wants to stop drinking alcohol so she can learn how to relax.
She said: "I do believe that people are triggered, [that] their depression is triggered by situations. I believe that all depression stems back to anxiety and an inability to relax during tough situations. When my life got more and more stressful, it was like I was just smoking and drinking and popping anything I could do to just chill out."
Asked if she plans to embrace sobriety, she told ‘The Howard Stern Show’: "I think I will be at some point."
The star prefers to exercise instead of going out on the town these days.
She said: "Now I meditate…I do yoga. I use the sauna a lot. It’s good for my body because the show’s so physical. And I sing jazz! The jazz has been so good for my depression."
The 28-year-old singer, who also revealed that she was raped by a unidentified music producer when she was 19, says Tony Bennett helped to restore her faith in men while they were recording their recently released duets album, ‘Cheek to Cheek.’
She said: "Can you imagine after all that time and after that how I was feeling, then having Tony Bennett be so loving? He’s not just a father or a grandfather or an uncle–he’s a friend. He’s a brother. He’s everything. He wants nothing from me but my talent and my friendship."
The ‘Applause’ hitmaker, who is dating actor Taylor Kinney, kept the sexual assault a secret until now because she doesn’t want it to define her.
She said: "I’ll be damned if somebody’s gonna say that every creatively intelligent thing that I ever did is all boiled down to one d**khead who did that to me."
