Lady Gaga says her past lovers have been "angry" at how talented she is.

Although the singer has reportedly been dating actor Taylor Kinney in recent months, she confessed she has not always been lucky in love.

The star admitted that she has struggled with relationships and believes that her previous partners have been intimidated by her creativity.

"If I go to the piano and write a quick song and play it back, they are angry with how fast and effortless it is," she said in an interview with Vanity Fair. "That's who I am, and I don't apologise for it. But it's a hideous place to be in when someone that you love has convinced you that you will never be good enough for anyone. I had a man say to me, You will die alone in a house bigger than you know, with all your money and hit records, and you will die alone.'"

However, if it came to a choice between her music and being single, the eccentric star insists there would be no contest.

She feels like her only purpose in life is to perform.

"If I'm supposed to end up like some crazy casualty, then that's my destiny. I love show business. I need it. It's like breath," she explained.

"When I'm on stage, I'm so giving and so open and myself. And when the spotlight goes off, I don't quite know what to do with myself."

Oddly the singer also revealed that she has called off relationships after a proposal.

The songstress isn't impressed with engagement rings.

"How f**kin' romantic, you a**hole. Sure, pop a ring on my finger and make it all better," she quipped. "I can buy myself a f**kin' ring."
