Well, now she’s saying that cocaine fueled her creativity and that some people just find inspiration in “dark places.”

“[Using drugs] I really figured out the art I wanted to make and was inspired. Some people find inspiration in dark places. I guess I’m one of them. What always made me different is that if I was doing drugs I was also making music. I wasn’t just doing drugs.”

While she admits to doing cocaine a few times a year now, she claims the only stimulant she needs now to get artsy is coffee.

“Once you open those doors they’re open for ever. People who say they need [drugs] to be creative are full of s**t. I’m not some chick on the road getting high and f***ed up every night. I wake up, drink coffee and get on the phone to talk about the creative direction of the next video.”

Do you think Lady Gaga is a good role model for young girls?
