Lady Gaga: 'Born Brave Bus is the most important thing in my life right now'

Pop superstar Lady Gaga recently launched her Born Brave Bus tour and has described it as the most important thing she's involved with at the moment.

Breedlove, who acts as the Born This Way Foundation's chief ambassador and is a close friend of Gaga's, told Rolling Stone magazine that it's a project very close to the 'Judas' singer's heart:

"Every day we talk about it after her show. On a daily basis, she says, 'This is the most important thing in my life right now.' You can measure your success based on album sales or artistic endeavors, but when you come to a town and you meet youth that haven't had access to people that understand them, and they tell you that you've changed their life, I think that is the most incredible experience you could have on earth."

The bus' behavioural team leader, Dr. Sue Swearer, added that she's never seen such a strong impact be made on young people and that it's inspiring to see Gaga making such a difference to people's lives:

"People come up and say, 'Lady Gaga saved my life,' or 'saved my child's life. I feel OK because she's empowering me to say who I am.' Just in the first two events, I heard 50-plus stories like that. It is such a positive, supportive environment for everybody."
