Rihanna was interviewed by writer/actor/artist Miranda July for The New York Timeslatest issue of T Magazine and posed for a series of stylish black-and-white photos (check out video of the shoot below). It was a revealing chat with the suddenly cagey ANTI star, touching on everything from her relationship goals to her fame fears. Check out some highlights:

On handling her Instagram account herself: “That’s the only way it’ll actually work. My fans can sniff the BS from very far away. I cannot trick them.”

On her massive success: “I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment — I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I’m on to the next thing. I don’t want to get lost in this big cushion of success.”

On why she’s single: “Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then. I’ll give it to my family, I’ll give it to my work — but I will not give it to a man right now.”

On what turns her on: “I’m turned on by guys who are cultured. That’ll keep me intrigued. They don’t have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught.”
