“People should expect the real me in this and probably the me that they’ve never gotten to know,” she said.
“Certainly not in the past few years, where everything is through the lens of the media, as opposed to: ‘Hey, it’s me’. I’m just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered and … Yeah, it’s fun.”
