She's one of the hottest music acts on the planet right now, but US pop star Lady Gaga sees herself as a role model for the unpopular and not so beautiful.
The 23-year-old singer says she believes she sends a positive message to young women.
"The truth is what I'm a role model for is the ability to change culture,"
"The ability for a young woman who may not be the most popular girl in school or the most beautiful or the best at everything to bust her arse and never give up and make something of herself.
"So if that's not a good message, I don't know what else is."
Lady Gaga's sexy videos, lyrics and fashion sense have raised many an eyebrow.
Her hit track Love Game, which features the lyrics "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick", gained attention for its sexual references.
At the end of the day, Lady Gaga, a former convent school girl, says she didn't set out to be a role model, but wants her music and videos to make people feel good about themselves and send a message.
"I'm not riding around in the sand glistening naked in the sun in my videos," Gaga said.
"They have a very clear message.
"I have not made a career out of being this incredibly beautiful supermodel of a woman, that was plucked off of a television series.
"I'm a decidedly eccentric young girl with a weird style who changed people's minds."
Lady Gaga is currently in Australia supporting the Pussycat Dolls on tour
