Ariana Grande covers Complex magazine's December 2013/January 2014 issue where she spoke about being sexy, Miley Cyrus, growing up Italian and her encounter with the supernatural.

On her sex appeal: "I don't see myself as sexy. And I'm not comfortable being sexy and dressing sexy. I don't see myself ever becoming a sex symbol."

On Miley Cyrus: "Miley looks like she is having the time of her life, and I think anybody who's giving her a hard time is wishing deep down they were having as much fun as she is right now."

On growing up in an Italian family: "We didn't have any Mafia ties. I feel like we knew some of the Mafia but were not involved for sure. I do know somewhere down the line there were some friendships. No Mafia ties though. It wasn't something I bragged about."

"My nonna [grandmother] is the best cook in the world. We had Sunday sauce-the best marinara sauce ever. We had the Italian cookies and all that good stuff. Every Christmas she'd make zeppole and spiedini and everything Italian. Then I grew up and changed my diet completely. I only eat salmon, vegetables, and fruits-super healthy."

On her encounter with the supernatural: "I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon... I was like, 'This is scary, let's leave.' I rolled down the window before we left and said, 'We apologize. We didn't mean to disrupt your peace.' Then I took a picture and there are three super distinct faces in the picture-they're faces of textbook demons."

The 20-year-old released her debut album Yours Truly in August. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard and sold 138,000 copies in its first week of release.
