On whether or not she's looking for a relationship: "My schedule is so crazy right now. It’s definitely going to be a challenge when I do decide to pursue a relationship . . . but I have hope!”
On why she wanted to take a break after her Unapologetic tour in 2013: "I wanted to have a year to just do whatever I want artistically, creatively. I lasted a week.”
On her new sound: "I just gravitated toward the songs that were honest to where I’m at right now. It might not be some automatic record that will be Top 40. But I felt like I earned the right to do that now."
