On opening for Rita Ora's UK Tour: "I wasn't prepared for how young the fans over here were going to be. I feel a bit harsh on their parents when I'm saying 'PU$$Y' repeatedly to their kids!"
On her childhood: "I was always the kid who liked to dress up or just do **** that other kids didn't ****ing want to do. When you're from a small town, you get caught up in that small town mentality, and I was into trying new stuff and those kids just weren't. I always felt like I didn't fit."
On her inspirations: "I always liked people who were almost like cartoon characters, things that were eccentric, fantasy, and dress up." She cites Bootsy Collins, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, Lil Kim, Andre 3000, Pharrell and even the Spice Girls as influences. "I liked what the music was saying. There was this energy and I just felt that energy too. I always felt so isolated I wanted to get out of where I was and that energy attracted me."
Her teenage dreams: "I felt like I'd ruined my life to be honest with you. I got kicked out of high school, and everybody knows if you get kicked out of high school, you're going to have a **** job. You're in a small town and you're thinking 'what can I really do if I don't graduate high school. Work at a supermarket?' So I thought well, if I have ****ed it then I may as well just go give it a shot."
Moving to the US: "It wasn't that big of a deal for me when I left, because when I said: '**** you guys I'm going to be a rapper'. I thought, well, you all already hate my guts anyway, so I'm just going to do whatever the hell I want. It wasn't really running away it was more like running to something. I had this preconceived notion that people in America dress crazy, or people in America wear high heels, or people in America dye their hair purple, or they like hip-hop and they have parties. I thought America was the place to go to be weird and wild so I could finally fit in."
On her first mixtape project: "I wanted to make people question and redefine old ideals. Part of it does break down some of the stereotypes, but I think I didn't go all the way in the way I wanted to go. If I had, half of you wouldn't even know what to ****ing do with yourselves. ERGGHH, POW! Your brains would explode."
On Azealia Banks beef accusing Iggy of "seriously trivialising aspects of black culture": "She says that **** about ****ing anything. She called Perez Hilton a ******, I think she trivialised gay culture… ****ing whatever. She's biased about everybody and everything, even towards the people who help her. She even talked **** about the fashion industry after they basically gave her a career. I don't think anything about that girl man, she ****ing talks **** out of her arse and that's her business."
On her "Trapgold" mixtape: "It was cool, I loved working with Diplo, he's awesome. he's always like, 'blonde buddies for life' [squeaky voice], because we're both blonde. I don't know a lot of producers with credits like Diplo that would give away their tracks for free and let me re-arrange them and put them on a mixtape. ****, I don't know if I'd give away 11 of my beats if I was Diplo."
On her friendship with Steve Aoki: "Steve's funny because he's the monk. He has like organic almonds and peanuts in his dressing room, and weird smoothies made of grass and stuff. He totally talks about planets. He fully goes off on these tangents and thinks there are alternate universes and stuff."
On her new album: "It does involve EDM, I just like that sound. I don't know, there's something about it. I feel like it fits me better and I feel more comfortable rapping on music like that rather than straight hip hop beats."
Why should the world know about Iggy Azalea? "I think you guys should just know who I am anyway. I don't mind talking a lot of ****. I probably say stuff that everybody else thinks but I always have the balls to say it. I have an interesting story and probably inspire a lot of people to believe they can achieve anything they want too although it seems so impossible. If you want to be a lawyer, or even work in a ****ing strip club, you might not think you have the jelly to shake it, but trust me, you do."
