Believing in method acting, Lady Gaga admitted how it is easier for her to remain in character rather than going in and out of a certain place to pretend to be someone.
“When I’m in character, I don’t pretend we’re not filming. I get people who are like, ‘Why did you keep your accent the whole time?’ Can you imagine going in and out of that s— all the time, and I would only get three takes? I had to be ready.”
