 I like to shock — I think it 's inspiring . I love to play and experiment , to be as tame or as outlandish as I happen to heel on any given day . When you are bold and open , artistically speaking , in music and in video , a whole bunch of people automatically feel threatened by you , especially in Middle America ... OK , I may have been the naked @-@ ass girl in the video , but if you look at it carefully , I 'm also at the forefront . I 'm not just some lame chick in a rap video ; I 'm in the power position , in complete command of everything and everybody around me . To be totally balls @-@ out like that is , for me , the measure of a true artist .
