I was sitting at home one day and I got a call that Riccardo Tisci was considering me for the face of the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 campaign, and I said, "Are you kidding?" and that was the end of the conversation. I'm a really big fan.

I'm not satisfied with the explanations I get from tv or from school.

I feel like I haven't done anything. What have I done? I've just made a few records.

Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.

I don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.

I'm a woman who has gone through many heartaches, enough to dedicate my whole life to trying to figure them out.
