Tila Tequila was interviewed by King-Mag.com. Here are some of the highlights:

Do you ever find being bisexual to be totally exhausting?

Not really. People have a misconception that just because you’re bisexual, you’re turned on by everyone everywhere you go. That’s totally not true. I think it’s more fun being bisexual, because sometimes you want to get away from guys. And then you go back to girls and you get something totally new and different. Then, after a while, that gets boring, so you go back. It’s always nice to have so many options.

What about the people who say you’re not really bisexual—that you’re hetero and just pretending for the show?

They can suck my d*ck.

Talk about sexual ambiguity!

If you’re faking bisexuality, then you’d be one of those Girls Gone Wild girls. I’m not one of those fake ones. It’s like saying, “Hey, you’re not really Vietnamese, you’re just trying to be.” How do you answer that?

How did you get your name?

Well, my name is Tila, but I got “Tequila” when I was 13. I was hanging with a bunch of friends, we drank tequila for the first time and I puked all over the place. I was really embarrassed, and the next day at school everybody had heard about it. They were winking and laughing and started calling me Tila Tequila. The name kind of stuck with me ever since. It’s got a catchy ring to it, you know?

But you’re only 4-foot-11! How could anyone be scared of someone so cute and tiny?

I think that’s where all the rage comes from. You always feel like you gotta watch your back and protect yourself. It’s the “little man syndrome.” You can be big, but when you see someone else who’s smaller than you and they’re insanely psychotic, you’re like, “Holy sh*t, this bitch is crazy! She’s gonna f**king kill me.”

You dance on a pole in the video for your song “Stripper Friends.” How’d you perfect the pole dance?

When I was 18 and still in high school, I was a stripper for a while, because I was trying to save up money to move to Hollywood to become this bisexual Hollywood starlet that I am today. And now I have a pole at my house, because it’s a good workout, and I hate working out at the gym. You practice with your girlfriends, pump up the music and have some fun.

When you were stripping, did you ever have any awkward run-ins with high-school teachers?

I invited my history teacher, who was also the football coach, and I had a big crush on him. I told him that he needed to come visit me and that I wouldn’t tell anybody. He was very tempted, I’m sure, but he never did show up.

She was probably shocked he didn’t show up. I guess he lost his “Shot at Love.” I wonder if he tunes into her show as MTV gave her another shot to find love. She’s brilliant isn’t she? Afterall, gay people have her to thank for getting gay marriages legalized in California.
