(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lady Gaga thinks her "bossy" nature stems from her perfectionism.

The 25-year-old songstress is famed for taking her role as a pop star seriously, and works hard to ensure her fans are treated to an amazing spectacle whenever she performs.

The star accepts she can be demanding when preparing for a show, but claims it's only because she's thinking of her supporters.

"I'm very bossy. I just want to do a good job!" she laughed to the British edition of OK! magazine.

"This is me. I'm just a person devoted to love and music and I aspire to be a teacher to my young fans. I want to free them of their fears. I want to live through them so they can create their own space in the world."

The star makes sure she looks after herself whenever she goes on tour, to ensure she's always on top form. Gaga follows a healthy diet and exercise regime, and admits she can't resist snacking on hummus.

"I love hummus. I eat it almost every day and especially when I'm on the road," she smiled. (C) Cover Media
