Janet Mock asks Kim Kardashian tough and important questions in new interview

Kim Kardashian doesn't normally hold back in interviews, but in her latest cover with Interview magazine, she kept things extra real and raw -- thanks to tough questions from author and activist Janet Mock.

Throughout the expansive interview, Mock doesn't shy away from asking pointedly about identity, public perceptions, race, controversy, and more. Here's what you need to know.

On maintaining privacy while filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians, post-robbery and post-Kanye West's public rants

But I also think that going through the motions of something like the aftermath of the robbery, or situations that most people might not understand, there are some people who might really have gone through that. I think about them. I feel like I came out of that a better person. Our approach to the show is to film everything and then scale back later.

That said, we all have boundaries: I don’t really talk about things that are going on with my husband. If I do, it’s from my point of view. It’s my story.

On handling controversies within the family

We have family chats that happen all day, every day. A lot of us are traveling, so one of us will inevitably wake up at four in the morning to 30 messages. I’ll be the first to jump in and say, "Guys, I’m seeing this. This is not cool. Tell me what’s going on." I’m usually the ringleader for stuff like that, and I’ll say, “You’re wrong. You need to apologize.” Or, “This needs to be fixed. Everyone just lay low, chill out, don’t say anything. It doesn’t matter if it’s all lies. I know it’s frustrating. I know you want to speak up.

On raising mixed-race children

Kanye always has his family around and people who look like my daughter—that’s important to me. She’s obsessed with her curly hair, and if she finds someone who has the same hair, she runs to them and is like, “You have curly hair like me?” And we get to talk about it.

On constantly being called "not talented"

If I’m so not talented, if I do nothing, then how is my career my reality? And I poke fun at it, like when I was on the cover of Forbes I posted the hashtag #NotBadForAGirlWithNoTalent. I don’t mind being underestimated because it does fuel me

You can say a lot of things about me, but you cannot say I don’t work hard. I don’t sing. I don’t dance. I don’t act. But I am not lazy.
