No I am not misinterpreting what she is trying to say

I made it because nowdays it seems she is not 101% sure she really is, like she was in the past. I did not say she said she is not Gaga anymore nor do I think that is what she is trying to say

It's incorrect to interpret the fact that since Gaga is not behaving exactly how she used to, that she is insecure in who she is now. YOU might be insecure in who she is now, but she may not be.

Gaga has said before. Shes always changing, her work is always changing. Shes constantly changing the album she makes.  Her life is a work of art. Shes always evolving. Watch her interview with the today show from march 2014. When she was promoting the G.U.Y. Music video

I think we will see our true Gaga at her best, and being completely herself than she ever was before with LG5

GP thinks she's a character. She can be a character sometimes but most of the time she is herself. So, when she says that Gaga is not necessarily who she is, she doesn't mean that she's someone else, she's just saying that the idea people have of who she is isn't necessarily what she is.

It's not that she doesn't fully know who she is anymore, it's just that now she sees that people perceive her in a way she is not. So when she says Gaga is not necessarily who she is she is just saying "Your idea of who I am is not necessarily who I am". Because to her there are two Gagas: the real one, who is melted with Stefani, and the one people made up in their minds, a caricature.

Anyway this is something I posted on another thread discussing this:

I understand her. People use the word character in a bad way when referring to her, meaning she is fake and constructed only to seek attention and become famous. But Gaga is simply a better version of Stefani, a version without the insecurities, but people usually only perceive her as a weird theatrical woman and while she may actually be a weird theatrical woman sometimes, she is also many other things that people keep ignoring. Jo Calderone is a character, Candy Warhol is a character, Yüyi is a character, Gaga is simply a better version of Stefani, who happens to be more confident to do what she likes, and for this reason a character, but this doesn't mean she's not herself, she's just expressing it in an artistic way. Of course I may be wrong, but to me it's clear what she's saying and she has been explaining it since the beginning of her career. In many reviews of ARTPOP people criticize her music and say it's not relatable and too much self-centered. They are right, but that's because she has been explaining who Gaga is since the beginning: a global pop star (The Fame) who people love and hate because of the theatrical way she expresses herself (The Fame Monster), but that at the core is not different from Stefani (Born This Way) and therefore isn't afraid to state continuously her passions (ARTPOP). This became clear to me since the Marry The Night video, but people keep ignoring the interlude so...

She's been saying this for years, you guys only listening now? 

[MGC 226]

It makes sense guys... And it's something she said multiple times in different ways along the years.. Three sentences come to my mind:

-VMA 2011 :i'm not real, I'm theater;

-2014: Lady by day Gaga by night 

-2015: Gaga is resting for the new album

 

And so on

I've been sitting here trying to convey my thoughts into words on this topic, and it simply isn't happening. I'm terrible at explaining and describing things 

In my head, I can understand exactly what she means, but it's so hard for me at least to explain it properly without sounding like a lunatic.

But that is the thing with every pop star, actor and every famous someone

Its not like people think she is something(who she clearly isnt), they think that about rihanna, kim kardashian, justin bieber... Its normal for people to think that way. To think they know the person and actually they dont

If you watch the whole interview and pay attention to what she's saying you'll get her point.

Plus, I think your thread proves her point: the way you perceive her is not who she is.

People think Gaga is simply a girl who wanted to be famous and to achieve that does a bunch of weird stuff and that when she's off the stage she throws all that sh*t way. Maybe you're missing the fact that she said that when asked if she is a character. So in the end she says she can't answer clearly because both things aren't true. She can't say she isn't because then her first 22 years would be nonexistent and saying she is would mean everything she does and says and believes and works for is false.

I don't care anymore  I feel I'm not waiting for Gaga, I'm waiting for a stranger.

I'll kiss her heart goodbye soon.
