Charli XCX Admits She Always Wants More Power

Charli XCX hangs backwards on the cover of Maxim magazine’s May 2015 issue, out on newsstands on Tuesday, April 21!

Here’s what the 22-year-old English singer had to share with the mag:

On keeping it real: “I’m not good at being a picture-perfect pop star, happy all the time. If I’m having a bad day, I can’t pretend.”

On her drive to succeed: “I have a business mind, I have a real drive�I want to have an empire. I want to have more of a legacy, and I think just because I wear what I wear, and am a pop star, doesn’t mean I can’t have that.”

On being a control freak: “Power gets me off. I always want more than I have.”
