MA: What’s changed now that you have a bigger following?
SZA: Nothing. I don’t go anywhere. No one has to acknowledge that I’m anyone or that I do anything. 
I love being home. I’m dreading walking to the beauty supply store in a hour. I don’t know. 
I’m not an outside kinda girl. I’m a active ass bitch, I love to go rock climbing and just be out 
for no reason. Go-Karting, go to the racetrack, bike riding, surfing, whatever, but I’m not like, 
in the streets!
