On Air interview
Charli XCX gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her album Sucker.
The record’s kind of punk-inspired. And it’s partially a comment on the record industry as a whole and how the whole place is basically like a circus. I’m part of it, but not part of it. It’s like a bizarre place.
Nylon cover
XCX appears on the cover of the December 2014/January 2015 issue of Nylon magazine. She talks about feminism, her confidence, and expressing herself.
There’s a video of me dancing to the Spice Girls with one of those toy microphones when I was, like, four, maybe younger. It’s a classic home video – my dad comes into the frame, and he’s doing high kicks and stuff. It still exists, but nowhere online, thankfully.
NKD cover
XCX appears on the cover of the November 2014 issue of NKD magazine. She talks about her song I Love It, working with Iggy Azalea, and the song Boom Clap.
I feel like we were both seen as underdogs prior to ‘Fancy,’ and now everyone is after us, and I think it’s funny,
Complex cover
Charli is profiled for the cover of the October/November Complex. As a female pop star:
There’s always a catch. Like: “Does she really do that? I heard her mum wrote that song.” I read that about Lorde. I’m like: As if! Just because she’s young and successful, why is someone trying to take that away from her? It’s because she’s highly intelligent and a female who’s killing it. She’s doing something different, and people are afraid of that.
Evening Standard interview
Charli is interviewed for The Evening Standard:
I really just want to change the way women think about themselves. A lot of young girls are quite lost. I think it would be cool for women to feel like they connect to someone who is also a bit scruffy. I’m not clean-cut and perfect, I say dumb shit and I fall over — and I want girls to know that’s cool.
Billboard cover
Charli graces the cover and talks about 
her plans to work with Rihanna and Gwen Stefani, writing angry music after I Love It charted and redecorating her country mansion in her spare time.
I’ve had to just make cutthroat decisions. I can’t f— around.
New York Times interview
Charli talks about her makeup, skincare, and hair routines:
To be honest, my usual makeup is the same as in my music video looks… It’s pretty much the same at night. Maybe I’ll add more black around my eyes. Or do a different lip, like a fuchsia. Or it’s an idea: I think about the 1990s. I’m a really big fan of movies like “Clueless” and “Jawbreaker.”
Time Out New York interview
Charli discusses working with Rivers Cuomo, Rostam Batmanglij, and her producer Justin Raisen for the album and where it got its title.
Sucker is about giving the middle finger to everyone who thought I couldn’t be where I am now.
DIY Magazine cover
Charli features on the October issue’s cover and talks about private jets, VMA parties and top 10 singles:
I feel like an ice cube floating around in a sea of chill. It’s not something that interests me. I really do just want to be in the studio or on tour all the time, and everything else is just beginning to freak me out. I guess that’s what being a pop star is, you know?
Clash cover
Charli appears on the September cover and talks about writing Sucker in a hotel in Sweden, working with Rivers Cuomo and Rostam Batmanglij and whether she thinks the days are gone when sexism dictated the media profile of female pop stars:
I wish I could say yes, but I don’t think so. Maybe it is just a pop music thing, but I don’t feel like it’s changed. Now, more than ever, I get songs sent to me by people who think they should be writing my songs for me. In interviews, people are surprised when I say I wrote something myself. That is frustrating. They automatically assume I didn’t in the first place.
New York Times interview
Charli talks about her growing mainstream appeal, creating a Justin Bieber shrine at art school, eating fried chicken for breakfast and making the new album.
Part of the stuff that I do, the V.M.A.s and the events, is definitely a circus. I don’t care about belonging to it, not at all.
Charli XCX interview
Seacrest interviews Charli XCX during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her on why she almost put ghost sounds on her album Sucker.
I was in Sweden in the countryside doing some recording for my record. There was this weird vibe in this house. It was actually this huge hotel we were staying in, kind of like The Shining. We had done some research and found out that there was a woman who had drowned herself in the lake outside the house when her husband had died in the 1900s. In this documentary, it said that she still lived in the house as a ghost. So we set up a microphone and left it recording all night and at about 5 or 6 a.m., we picked up this noise that was like, ‘Oooohhhhh.’ We pitched it up three octaves and it was a woman’s voice talking it was cool!

Charli gives an interview for New York Times T Magazine and talks about being compared to a young Madonna:
Madonna was someone who didn’t get put in a box. She changed and evolved. The second someone tries to put me in a box, I will do everything to rebel against that. One thing I don’t understand is how people want you to replicate your past successes. Being an artist should be about freedom and not just becoming one thing, because I think that’s terrible and boring.
Pitchfork interview
Charli gives an interview to Pitchfork about movies, her favorite cereal and opening for Coldplay:
I actually gave my lucky My Little Pony to Chris Martin when we finished touring together, which I regret.
