Ariana Grande: 'My family don’t take sh*t from anybody'

Ariana Grande has insisted that she won't be pressured into doing something she doesn't want to do.

The singer told the Telegraph that her family ethic means that she will happily stand up for herself.

However, the US star admitted that she has a "sensitive" side too.

When asked what would happen if a record label worker or video director tried to tempt her into a new role, Grande said:

"I will never succumb to that. And I think that’s because of my mother, and because of my family. I come from a strong, loud Italian family. We don’t take sh*t from anybody. But as somebody who’s also very sensitive and likes to please people, it’s conflicting for me. Because a lot of the time I like to say, 'OK! If you say so!'."

Speaking meanwhile about being a role model to women, the singer added:

"To me the idea of being a role model is just being yourself. And being unapologetically yourself, whatever that means. Whether that’s just me simply dressing sexier on some days and more conservatively on other days because that’s how I wake up feeling, I believe in authenticity."

Grande's interview will be published in print in the Telegraph on Saturday (October 18).
