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

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

It's so easy to be pretty and perfect.

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.

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

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

Fashion and music are connected, since both are expressions.

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

I've always been colorful and taken risks.

I enjoy exploring and finding myself.

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

We treat each album as our traces and our legacy.

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.

I love to perform and express myself to inspire people.

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

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.

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.

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

I have so many things I want to say.

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

When I go out, it's to have a good time, not to find a man.

I would have loved to have cracked America. When I tried, I got homesick. Then, when I was in New York, my nanna died, and I just wanted to come home.

T.V. found me. I was offered jobs. It came in handy when I started having babies. Just one night's work, and then I could go home. I loved 'Surprise Surprise', but it was hard work. 'Blind Date' was a doddle by comparison.
