<p>"I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy. You know, my work sort of feeds me. I keep in shape by working hard," the 25-year-old singer told Harper's Bazaar.<br /><br />But even when she's not touring, Gaga works for "about 16 to 20 hours a day. And when I'm alone, I write, I imagine, I create things, and I decide how I want to do my future performances. I don't take much time off."<br /><br />The 'Born This Way' hitmaker is famous for her outrageous costumes but Gaga opted to go natural for the cover shoot of the magazine.<br /><br />"Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside," said the singer.<br /><br />Gaga says she opts to dress up as part of her art.<br /><br />"I don't really view it as "natural". I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. I think what has been lovely about my relationship with the public is that they expect something unexpected from me," she added.<br /><br />Though the singer puts on a great facade in public, she is happy to go nude as well.<br /><br />"I'm very free-spirited. Even when I was a kid, I used to run around naked with the babysitter, driving her crazy."</p>
