Lady GaGa feels responsible for fans

Lady GaGa has admitted that she enjoys being a role model to her fans.

The 'Telephone' singer, who is currently on her world tour, said that she feels a responsibility to her followers and tries not be "self-obsessed".

"When you're in the public eye, you're a role model whether you want to be or not, and I want to be," she told You magazine. "I'm not one of those self-obsessed artists who don't care about their fans. It's not just about the music. I look out into the O2 and there are 18,000 screaming young people and I have a responsibility to them - and you're an idiot if you don't know that."
