Nicole Scherzinger was photographed arriving at Katsuya restaurant Los Angeles. Nicole recently sat down with Giant Magazine and talked about life.

It's about how her patience is fully tested right now. It's regarding new projects she's dealing with, as an artist, a woman, as a person. She also talked about being frustrated even though the projects are her lifelong dreams. New album, for instance, will turn out to be sadness if it is not successful.

“It’s just one continuous journey. I started out just making music that showed the other sides of me. I am still exploring that. I don’t think I have found any definite number of songs that says, ‘This is it; this says who I am as a solo artist coming out.’ I haven’t found that yet. I am continuously being challenged and inspired. It’s safe because it’s not out yet, but it’s also scary because you really want to challenge yourself as an artist, to take risks. You want to do things that you’re not used to doing. I got to work with a lot of people that I wouldn’t have expected to work with. I was in the studio the other night, and I was like, ‘I didn’t even know I could do this. This is great!’”

After all, Nicole is a grown-up Pussycal Doll...
