Janelle Monae kind of answers questions

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Janelle Monae gave these quotes:

Monáe’s sci-fi weirdness can feel a bit forced; when asked if she still attends church (she was raised Baptist), she only says, “I attend an Android community church in Metropolis.”

She gives a similar answer when asked about her sexuality (her outré look and penchant for pants over skirts has caused some to wonder if she’s gay). “The lesbian community has tried to claim me,” she says. “But I only date androids. Nothing like an android — they don’t cheat on you.”

But Monáe also believes — quite plausibly — that she will help redefine what’s possible for black female performers. “I’m trying to open doors for girls who look like myself and have been told they can’t sing about this or that,” she says.

Okay. I guess she answers in the best way she knows how.
