Lady Gaga keeps "giving birth to little monsters".

The 'Born This Way' hitmaker - who has dubbed her fans her 'little monsters' - explained while she is looking forward to starting a family in the future, she is concentrating on keeping her followers happy at the moment.

She said: "I think at some point, yeah, I'll have a family and babies and all those things, but not right now.

"Not for a while. Right now I have lots of fans. I'm giving birth to lots of little monsters, so I need to keep down the stretch marks."

The 25-year-old singer - real name Stefani Germanotta - revealed she is also hoping to make her directorial debut behind the camera in the future.

She added to E! News: "I think if anything I might do something directorial first. I'm really just a musician and a pop singer and I just want to keep making records. Right now I'm just really excited about the new tour."

Lady Gaga also admitted the egg she hatched out of at this year's Grammy Awards has not been put away for good, and she might bring it out again during her upcoming tour.

Asked whether fans can expect to see the egg again, she said: "I don't know. I talk about that a lot. Right now, it's just sort of an endless performance piece have to do with this idea of rebirth and death and the cycle of life."
