I don't want a 'good' image.

Jeremy Scott is a good friend, and we love his stuff.

We're 2NE1, and we're from Korea. We're this girl band with great music.

Normally, people think of Asian women as timid, but I think I'm very strong.

I want to show who CL is on my first solo album.

N.Y. is definitely one of my favorites. Love the culture, people, attitude and music, art, and fashion.

Working with Method Man was such an honor. I love his music even though I didn't grow up in his era.

When I perform or have work, I get my makeup done by an artist.

'I Love You,' was something different for our fans and for 2NE1.

I feel like 'I Am The Best' or 'Can't Nobody' are very much 2NE1's style, if that's how you want to put it.

What is portrayed on stage and in my music videos is different from my everyday lifestyle. But I want to people to see me as CL on stage and in my music.

There are always two sides to a person. CL is me, and so is Chaelin.

I want to express my ideas through my music and on stage because I'm a musician.

I want to break that typical Asian female stereotype. There's this standard where they're all calm. I want to break that.

I have this other side of me that people didn't meet in 2NE1.

I like to play different characters.

My creative is for the world.

A lot of Asian girls love being basic because it's safe. But the thing is, a lot of my fans are those girls, and they want to be bolder, but there's no one they could look up to and be like, 'It's OK to be that way.'

Yes, I am successful in Asia. But if you think about that too much, you become boring. Because you don't want to take risks.

I'm not the standard Asian girl.

In my point of view, bad girl is not a villain. Like, people in the United States use 'bad' as referring to something cool. So it means 'Cool girl.' I wish CL was like that.

For 2NE1, it's always been all about music.

I love Grace Jones. She's everything.

All our fans have great energy, and that's where we get our energy to perform. They know how to have fun with our music.
