Read on for a sneak peek at the issue, which hits stands June 10, or then check out her super unexpected Billboard Music Awards gape.
On her childhood: "I was definitely born different . . . I loved to challenge authority. I was a very difficult child to parent. I was hyper. I didn't sleep a lot. And being sick so often and being in and out of the hospital so much made it hard to form relationships."
On her status as a lad-mag lust thing: "My sexuality made me very uncomfortable. I remember my first Maxim (common saying expressing a principle of conduct) shoot,they were telling me to pose a certain way, and I was like, and 'Agh! I'm 19. I'm a virgin. I don't even know how to do that.' It was so awkward."
On her sex-symbol status at 25: "I sort of went through a life crisis. I was like,'This isn't what I set out to be. I'm so much more than this, but I don't know how not to be a sex symbol.'"
On starting The Honest Company: "It's not just approximately which detergent you use. It's approximately education, and letting people know what they're being exposed to and giving them options. It shouldn't only be people who live in a certain tax bracket who own access to healthy products."
On her character in Mechanic: Resurrection: "She can hold her own,and she's tough, and she kicks ass. So that's why I wanted to do it."
