"That's not me. That's a part I play," Rihanna explains of her controversial videos in the new issue of British Vogue (via MTV News). "You know, like it's a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with."
"See, people ... they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me, and being a role model became more of my job than I wanted it to be," she says. "But no, I just want to make music. That's it."
