On her decision to quit smoking: "This is crazy, but I haven't smoked weed in three weeks! It's the longest I've ever [gone without it]. I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now! That was just something that I wanted to do. I like to surround myself with people that make me want to get better, more evolved, open. And I was noticing, it's not the people that are stoned. I want to be super clear and sharp, because I know exactly where I want to be."
On if it's been easy to quit: "It's easy, dude. When I want something, it's f*cking easy for me. But if anyone told me not to smoke, I would have not done it. It's because it was on my time. I know exactly where I am right now. I know what I want this record to be. And not in the sense of manipulation — wanting something from my fans or the audience, like some slimy thing — 'How do I get attention?' I never thought about that. Dude, I was shocked that people gave a f*ck about the [2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance with Robin Thicke] — the twerking, the teddy bear. It's a totally different time, and I don't think that would freak people out anymore."
