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," Lady Gaga told AAP in Sydney.

"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.

The accompanying video, in which she dances nearly naked, was banned from playing on Video Hits in Australia for "frequent verbal and visual sexual references".

Lady Gaga says it doesn't worry her, saying sex is "an important thing to everyone".

"I don't make my videos for television - I make them for art," she said.

"So I do whatever video I think is best for the story and the vision of the song. And then whether or not someone plays it is up to them."

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.

She will be touring the rest of the year in the likes of Europe, Asia and Canada, but says she is writing new songs every day and plans to release more music at the end of the year.

"I don't abide by the industry rules of releasing things," Gaga said.

"I intend to release almost a full album's worth of new material by the end of this year without saying I'm putting out a new record."

"Just because my fans deserve my music."

Being so busy with her music, Lady Gaga added she had no time for a personal life or boyfriend.

"I'm a very passionate woman," she said.

"I just don't put emphasis on that sort of thing.

"I believe in love and art and togetherness but my music will never wake up and tell me it doesn't love me anymore."
