Lady Gaga dishes on everything from style to copycat rumors in a new interview with the Fall issue of V Magazine.

“Mario [Testino] wanted me naked all day long,” the 23-year-old nine-time MTV VMA nominee says of her V cover photoshoot with the acclaimed photog. “It was my stylist, Nicola, who kept sneaking in the designer stuff. He was like, ‘Put this Fendi belt on right now!’ We love clothes. But Mario, he really understands me, and he said, ‘I want this to be about you. I don’t want it to be about the clothes.’”

Lady Gaga On Her Upcoming Tour With Rapper Kanye West: “We are attempting an epic story…”

On Being Compared To Other Pop Princesses, Like Britney, Madonna, and Christina: “Look, when I was a brunette, they called me Amy Winehouse,” she explained. “When I was a blonde, they called me Madonna. Then they called me Christina, then Gwen. I just don’t think most people’s reference points go back very far.”

On Madonna — who saw Gaga in concert at New York City’s Terminal 5 earlier this summer: “My sister texted me and she was like, ‘Madonna is 15 feet away from me. And there are two guys having sex in the audience,’” GaGa recalled. “I just remember thinking, ‘Wow, this is exactly what I wanted. I’ve got Madonna and I’ve got gay sex!’”

On The Gay Community: “With the exception of God, my family, and [best friend] Matthew [Williams], and the Haus [of GaGa, her design collective], and Vincent Herbert [who signed and discovered her], the gay community is the single reason that I am here today,” Gaga explains. “I started out playing gay clubs in America, then I went to London to play G-A-Y, where I didn’t think anyone knew who I was, and there were thousands of people there. How could I ever turn my back on those people who really fought for me? And besides the loyalty factor, playing in gay clubs is fun.”
