Solange Knowles'  Blender Interview (Cont.)

Solange: “Girl, you better have some panties on!” My mom’s so reserved—last year, for my 21st birthday, she was like, “You can have one glass of champagne, and that’s it.” I said, “First of all, I haven’t lived with you since I was 17. Second, I’m divorced. And third, I have a kid. I am drinking tonight.”

Blender: If we drug-tested you, what would we find?
Solange: I’ve got a song called “Champagne Chronic Nightcap.” That’s about as wild as it gets for me—that and the Coronas.

Blender: What’s your favorite curse word?
Solange: I’m on a campaign—I want black people to start saying douchebag. It just sounds so grimy. I tried to say it on MTV last week, and they wouldn’t let me. Only douchebags don’t let you say douchebag on TV.

Blender: Are you a good girl or a bad girl?
Solange: Definitely … um … You know, I was so trained to say a good girl, but I really straddle that line.

Blender: Ever doubted your sexual orientation?
Solange: You mean like in that Katy Perry song? Negative. I’m strictly dickly.

Blender: How about videotaped yourself having sex?
Solange: Nope. Ain’t no Solo tapes, y’all.

Blender: Sorry—solo tapes?
Solange: Solo—that’s short for Solange.
Solange Blender Interview Cont.
Blender: Oh, I thought you meant “solo” solo.
Solange: Ha! None of that, either.

Blender: How would you characterize your taste in sex?
Solange: A good girl never kisses and tells. Didn’t I say I straddle that line?

Blender: Again with the straddling.
Solange: Get out of my house!
