Here is Rihanna's fun interview with Elle magazine, via HollywoodLife.com:

"ELLE: What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

Rihanna: That's still a secret.

ELLE: What do people misunderstand about you?

Rihanna: I'm shy.

ELLE: What's the sexiest thing a man has ever said to you?

Rihanna: Any man that tells me what to do is sexy!

ELLE: What's your mantra?

Rihanna: "Fuck bitches, get money!"

ELLE: Your worst fear?

Rihanna: Childbirth!

ELLE: The last time you were starstruck?

Rihanna: When I met Aaron Paul at the Spike awards.

ELLE: The best hangover cure?

Rihanna: Ice, Chinese food! And an upside-down trash can and towels, preferably next to the toilet.

ELLE: Are you a good cook?

Rihanna: I'm a fun cook! My specialty is seafood, but I also make the sickest mac 'n' cheese you will ever taste.

ELLE: If you had to listen to three albums on repeat, what would they be?

Rihanna: KoL's Only By the Night, Buju Banton's 'Til Shiloh, and Michael Bolton's Greatest Hits (1985-1995). And the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack.

ELLE: Do you ever sound like your mother?

Rihanna: My mother doesn't say much, but that one "ummmm" is a full paragraph of things I was grateful she didn't say. I catch myself doing that a lot recently.

ELLE: If you weren't a singer, what would you be?

Rihanna: A wife.

ELLE: If you were a piece of jewelry, what would it be?

Rihanna: I'd be a choker!"
