Lady GaGa has confessed she rubbed "people in the wrong way" when she was growing up as she was so vain. “For a little while, I thought girls were just jealous, which is why they were mean to me," GaGa told Entertainment Weekly. "But I think I genuinely used to rub people in the wrong way. I'd talk about things and do things that were very ostentatious, and over the top, and very vain. And it's part of my artistic aesthetic. I think you're born an artist. It's like being gay. You're born gay, and then you discover that's who you are over a period of time in a world where maybe being gay is not the normal thing. Then you look it in the eye and you say thank you, and you put it in your heart and you lock it up and you go.” Before adding. “When you're 12 years old and making clothes with plastic flowers attached to them, and trying to choreograph shows at your school that are entirely too sexy - you start to be like, Okay, this is my aesthetic. My aesthetic is in so many ways exactly the same as it was when I was younger, I'm just smarter. And I know how to execute the ideas. And I have a bigger budget."
