She's raw -- really raw -- and we like it!

Lady Gaga gave an intimate interview with Porter's magazine for the Summer 2014 issue. And we think it's the best thing she has done in awhile.

In the video, the 29-year-old talks about art, her music, and her sexuality -- or lack there of.

"My sexuality doesn't play a big part in my life like that. It's much more of an animalistic pure thing. I struggled with understand my whole life because I felt more connected to male artists, more connected to rock and roll, more connected to glam culture."

She also sings acoustically and plays the piano, once again proving that she has quite the powerful instrument.

The spread, photographed by Inez & Vinoodh, features the mercurial artist wearing no make up and wearing her grandmother's vintage robe.

We have to admit we kind of prefer this version of Gaga. Publicly she has been looking all sorts of crazy -- so we love seeing a a softer, more intimate side of the consummate performer.
