Lorde: I Want People to Stop Hearing Me on the Radio All the Time!

Lorde shows off her curly head of hair on the cover of V magazine‘s Spring 2014 issue.

Here’s what the 17-year-old Grammy winner had to share with the mag:

On choosing friends: “I’ve always hung out with people older than me, with my parents’ friends, because I appreciated the conversation. And even now, although I have heaps of friends in high school, I also hang out with a lot of older people.And sometimes with them I’m like, “God, this is boring!” But it means that I get to have these stimulating encounters with people that I idolize, which is cool.”

On not wanting a Lorde overload: “I want to let people stop hearing Lorde on the radio all the time, because it’s kind of crazy at the moment. I’d like to give people a little bit of breathing room before I unleash something different.”

On not wanting to be called the “voice of the generation”: “I’m sure so many people will read that and be like, F–k off!”
