On privacy: "Do I even give a d*ck about that anymore?"
On how she's been staying busy: "I didn't actually take time off. The past two years are the hardest I've ever worked. I've been working on two albums, an animated film, shooting for multiple magazines, designing for Puma and Stance [socks], a new line of fragrances, a summer tour, I launched my first annual Diamond Ball at the end of last year, and I've also been developing several projects to be revealed in the near future."
On sharing steamy Instagram pictures and expressing herself on social media: "I run away from anything that does not stimulate me. I often find myself gravitating toward the underground. There is a certain creative freedom there that you can't experience anywhere else."
On her upcoming eighth album: "Dude, I'm in love with my interludes. This one called 'James,' joint is on constant repeat. [The album is] soulful and aggressive, whether it's lyrically, musically, or just the tone of my voice."
