I think I understand Lady Gaga just a little better than I did.
Now, don't get ahead of me, I'm going somewhere with this.
The reaction I got on Sunday to my speech, the applause, the people coming up to me afterward telling me it moved them, it was an amazing rush.
And then I had to go back to my regular life.
A life without applause.
And I'm finding it less easy than I thought I would.
I'm finding that applause is addictive, and so I understand those who get so addicted they would do anything to keep the applause going.
So that's why I understand Lady Gaga better.
