I feel like an alien sometimes, where I don't feel like I belong anywhere.

I have so many things I want to say.

Growing up, I listened to a lot of Queen and Lauryn Hill because of my dad. Those are songs that have messages.

For me, the things that are luxurious are things that are rare. It's not really about how much something costs or whether it's 'limited edition'; it's about how special it is.

I wanted to go on a project which shows the mixture of Chae rin and CL, not just CL on stage or in a music video.

2NE1 was special because we each had different characters and styles, for individual tastes.

I love to perform and express myself to inspire people.

I love Chanel. Everything about her was personal. All of those lions she made, she handmade them. Red and green, they were her favorite colors. She kept it personal and real, and she was a woman.

We treat each album as our traces and our legacy.

I love men's clothes better than women's collections.

I use Maybelline's eye studio gel eyeliner and simply glide it onto the eyelids to shape the makeup. Then, I use brown eyeshadow to add more detail to make my eyes look deeper.

I enjoy exploring and finding myself.

I've always been colorful and taken risks.

It takes so much energy and time to make one song perfect.

Fashion and music are connected, since both are expressions.

In 2NE1, you mostly see just one side of CL.

I actually wrote the lyrics for 'Goodbye' in 10 minutes.

I always wanted to do my solo album in English, because I grew up listening to a lot of pop artists and English-based songs.

It's so easy to be pretty and perfect.

Our goal is just to put the best music out there possible.

I'm a city girl from Seoul City, where I grew up, to Tokyo & Paris.

With 2NE1, it's not personal because it's not only about me; it's about all the members. We're more about influencing the world.

Some people want to tell me what's right for me, and I have to stick up for myself all of the time.

I love Karl Lagerfield. Riccardo Tisci - I love his work.

I don't cry often.

My eyeliner is part of my face. There are elements that I'll change here and there, but my eyeliner, with little wings, that never changes.

I'm a tomboy, and my style is punk.

We just love shopping. I don't look at the brand; I don't look at the most pricey outfit. Even if it's a dollar, I don't care.

I want to represent Asian women.

I want people all around the globe to know that there are girls in Asia, like me, who like hip-hop and dress uniquely.

Once you have the money, fame, success or power, it's so easy to maintain that, because all you have to do is play it safe.

I don't actually like calling myself a rapper. I'm more a performer.

I don't like to box myself into anything, because I also sing and I love to dance; I do everything.

We're into discovering ourselves as 2NE1. Since all four of us are different, we inspire and push each other.

I know how important '36 Chambers' is, and it inspired me to record 'Lifted.'

Girls in Asia are very obedient, shy, timid, quiet, but I can tell that it's changing, and I want them to be stronger and tell them that it's OK to be different.

I've been a fan of Dave Meyers and his music videos.

Culturally, I'm not 100 percent Korean. I'm very mixed and very open.

I have so many gay friends, and I love them so much because they're fun.

I think it's in my blood: both of my parents are very hard workers and were always working when I was growing up. I love working and what I do.

I'm not against being beautiful or sexy or anything, but I have this 'cool' image that I want to keep.

Love A$AP Rocky. I love his music, and I love his style.

I have makeup on for such a long time that I need to give my skin a break. And at night, I really get clean when I take all my makeup off.

Back in Korea, I'm always in the studio with YG people. I'd be given a song, and I'd cut it.

What I do is all about expressing myself, whether it's music or the clothes I wear.

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.

I love Grace Jones. She's everything.

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

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.

I'm not the standard Asian girl.
