Talk about strength from within.

“When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl,” Lady Gaga tells the July issue of Rolling Stone magazine. “Then I say, ‘Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’”

In fact, the pop star – born Stefani Germanotta – sees no circumstance serious enough that would require her to shed her larger-than-life persona.

“If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I’d come out as Gaga,” she says.

For inspiration, she looks to another pop icon: Michael Jackson, who never forgot he was a star, even when he was badly injured when his hair caught fire.

“Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business,” she says. “That’s what we do. I don’t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music.”

When Lady Gaga recently revealed she loves singing Taylor Swift’s hit “You Belong with Me” at the top of her lungs, no one was more surprised – or excited – than the country singer herself.

“That absolutely made my day when I read that because I’m a huge fan of hers,” Swift tells CMT Insider in an interview airing Saturday at 1:30 ET.

Gaga, 24, who said in an interview that she starts singing along to Swift’s song “so loudly” when she hears it on the radio that she’s “so embarrassed,” had also praised the country star, 20, for being “a great songwriter.”

“It’s a great song!” Gaga told Show Studio. “I think it’s just because it’s very whimsical in a way that I’m not necessarily whimsical every day.”

And Swift returns the feelings: “I’m a huge fan of hers and [hearing] that really, really made me smile,” she says. “I appreciated that.”

Although they are in completely different genres, Swift says she admires Gaga for her daring style and music. “I remember the first time I ever saw [Lady Gaga] on [MTV's] TRL,” recalls Swift. “She had like a leotard on and I just thought to myself, that’s so daring. Her music must be daring like that and [I] went home and I downloaded ‘Just Dance.’ ”

Ever since she nearly collapsed on stage in March and had to cancel several shows earlier this year citing exhaustion, Lady Gaga has had pals worrying if she’s on the verge of tipping.

And now the pop star’s latest health scare probably isn’t helping to alleviate those fears.

“I’m very connected to my aunt, Joanne, who died of lupus,” she tells The Times of London. “It’s a very personal thing.”

When asked if she’s been tested, Gaga, 24, says “yes,” without elaborating on the results, adding that she doesn’t “want anyone to be worried” even though the disease, in which the immune system attacks the body, can be genetic.

“I have heart palpitations and things. But it’s okay. It’s just from fatigue and other things,” the singer, who said she fainted during her New Zealand concert because of jet lag, tells the U.K. newspaper.

Her most recent health emergency: “The other day,” Gaga says about her time in Tokyo where she was “having trouble breathing.”

After receiving “a little oxygen,” the “Bad Romance” singer went back on stage. “I was okay,” she says, again adding, “I don’t want anyone to worry.”

As for buzz about her thin body, Gaga wants to reassure fans that she doesn’t “have an eating problem,” but rather points to her busy schedule that doesn’t allow her “very much time to eat.”

“I really don’t do drugs. I don’t touch cocaine any more. I don’t smoke,” she says. “I take care of myself.”

But don’t expect her to slow down anytime soon.

“People say I should take a break,” says the singer. “But I’m like, ‘Why should I take a break? What do you want me to do? Go on vacation?”

Lady Gaga surprises 12-year-old Greyson Chance — who has gotten more than 8.6 million YouTube hits with his rendition of “Paparazzi” — with a phone call on Thursday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“You’re so sweet and so talented. I was so excited that you covered ‘Paparazzi,’” Gaga, 24, tells the Oklahoma-based sixth grader, who first performed the song for a church talent show. “Everyone loves you so much.”

Gaga’s advice?

“Just keep following your dreams and work really hard and stay away from girls and be focused,” says the singer, who recently admitted she’s celibate.

Gaga also tells Chance — who sports Justin Bieber’s hairdo — not to be “nervous” about singing “Paparazzi” on the talk show Thursday.

“You already won over everyone’s heart. Just enjoy yourself,” she says. “Just have fun and give a performance of a lifetime.”

Greyson calls Gaga his “No. 1 inspiration.”

“I love how she’s so different,” he says. “She takes her individuality and she takes an amazing talent that she has and she makes gets songs that are catchy. They make you want to dance and maybe throw out some Ellen moves that you have.”

While all eyes were on the glamorous gowns on the red carpet outside of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night, inside the Costume Institute Gala, it was all about Lady Gaga who stole the show in sheer crystal catsuit. Skipping the red carpet so she could prepare for her mini-concert, Gaga performed four songs in front of a New York City-themed backdrop–while clad in a crystal-encrusted catsuit by Giorgio Armani (who notably designed her Grammys ensembles). The ensemble and the show had the star-studded audience tweeting away: “GaGa singing beautifully at Met Ball. (she’s not the lamp post – underneath on the piano),” joked Jimmy Fallon, while Cash Warren, there with wife Jessica Alba raved about her performance. “Jess and I are front row center. Insane! She’s amazing,” Warren Tweeted, adding, “haven’t heard a voice that wonderful in person in a long time.” Katy Perry joined in on the Gaga lovefest, Tweeting, “I love @ladygaga She’s still cool.” Meanwhile, a Michael Kors-clad Brooke Shields told PEOPLE that the performance was one of the highlights of the night, “I love whenever I can see Lady Gaga.”

Forget her in-your-face sexuality. Lady Gaga has a new routine: celibacy.

The lusty singer, 24, has shocked even herself with her latest message to embrace abstinence. Furthermore, she is urging fans to do the same, reports MTV.com.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this – don’t have sex,” Gaga said in England, where she is promoting MAC’s Viva Glam Campaign to fight AIDS. “It’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people,” she says. “I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.”

Gaga says she is advocating a ban on sex for herself in part because the HIV cases among women around the world have steadily risen, while cases among men have dropped.

“It’s okay to be whomever it is that you want to be,” says Gaga. “You don’t have to have sex to feel good about yourself, and if you’re not ready, don’t do it … It’s not really cool anymore to have sex all the time. It’s cooler to be strong and independent.”
