Lady Gaga has revealed that she feels obligated to use her voice and platform in the most positive ways possible now that she realises how many people she can reach. 

Chatting to the BBC this week, the 'Million Reasons' star admitted that it can be hard to be expected to be a role model, especially when you're still growing up and working out who you are: "I'm sure there's many people who would say 'Lady Gaga's not role model. Did you see this performance? Did you see that performance?'"

"But the truth is that when I was younger... I didn't quite understand the amount of attention that I had (or) the amount of people that would listen to me. I am older now and I am aware of my voice in the world and I want to be as much of a role model as I can be through my music as well as my performance."
