In the December issue of Glamour, the 21-year-old opens up about Chris Brown, her new album "Rated R," and just how much she's learned in the past year. Check out the excerpt from her interview below.
On her message to young women:
“My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn't heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”
On her personal growth over the past year:
“I am stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t even know, like fans."
On relationships:
“I want to find love in the next 10 years -- that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!”
On her new album "Rated R":
“I've put everything I've wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. [My new album] is super fearless -- which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.”
On how she made it back:
“My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It's a lonely place to be -- no one can understand. That's when you get close to God.”
