On her relationship with her label, Atlantic…
“I’ve always been … interpreted as difficult. I have a high standard, and I don’t think they’re right always. And I’m not willing to do something just because they think it’s right. They don’t know what’s best for me and my career, you know? I don’t suffer bullsh-tters, you know? There are a lot of bullsh-tters in the music industry. There really, really are.”
On tweeting “kamala IS brat” and having Kamala Harris adopt the Brat aesthetic with her campaign:
“To be on the right side of democracy, the right side of women’s rights, is hugely important to me. I’m happy to help to prevent democracy from failing forever. I obviously knew what I was doing. Did I think me talking about being a messy bitch and, like, partying and needing a Bic lighter and a pack of Marlboro Lights would end up on CNN? No.”
On not being a political artist:
“I’m not Bob Dylan, and I’ve never pretended to be. My music is not political. Everything I do in my life feeds back into my art. Everything I say, wear, think, enjoy — it all funnels back into my art. Politics doesn’t feed my art.”
On partying…
“I’m partying all the time. Everyone is always like, ‘Charli, now maybe is the time to leave it alone?’ I’m like, ‘Why?’ I’m messy. I’m messy. I’m also really not the girl who leaves at a chic hour.”
