“I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies, and I do think that I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle [Berry] and Diana Ross opened doors for me” says the birthday girl in an interview for October’s issue of British Marie Claire.
Her new album drops in November and she talked about the direction she wants to take with her career:
“I’m over being a pop star,” she says. “I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records,” she adds. “And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.
She talked about having an onstage alter ego, “Sasha,” saying that there were:
“things I do when performing I would never do normally. As “Sasha,” I have out-of-body experiences. If I cut my leg, if I fall, I don’t even feel it. I’m so fearless, I’m not aware of my face or my body.”
ooooook… doesn’t she realize that having dual personalities is NOT normal?
She is back to eating healthy again because before she arrived for her Marie Claire shoot, her catering needs were:
“No chips, no candy, no desserts, no junk food, no fried food.”
Wonder if she is going to have a bite of birthday cake today?!
