- We are backstage at The Wiltern in LA
getting ready for my show.
- [Interviewer] How's your emotional landscape?
- Blah, my emotional landscape is crazy.
I've done so much today, I'm all over the place.
It's stressful, hectic, I wanna party, but it's good.
We're gonna get there, it's gonna be wild.
- [Interviewer] Do you have a song
that's stuck in your head right now?
- Weirdly, my own ones.

They don't have it in the UK, why.
- [Interviewer] Sense of humor or sense of style?
- Sense of humor, always.
- [Interviewer] If you could time travel,
would you go to 1999 or 2099?
- 1999, honestly, because I feel like
the parties are probably better.
- [Interviewer] What boys are you busy thinkin' about?
- You.
- [Interviewer] First date advice, hook up or hang out?
- I think hang out unless you're like,
we have this mind blowing connection
and it's one night, one shot, one opportunity.
We're only gonna see each other this one time,
and in that case, hook up.
- [Interviewer] What's your Grindr tribe?
- Oh my God, wait, can you teach me about Grindr tribes?
- [Interviewer] Yeah, otter is like a young hairy guy,
bear would be like an older guy who's hairy with a belly.
Twink is like. - Yep.
- Twink? - No, I think.
- It's bear. - Bear.
- [Interviewer] I think bear fits.
Favorite drag queen?
- Jodie Harsh, always.
- [Interviewer] Brand of poppers?
- Okay, I'm gonna say Rush.
Is that basic, I don't know.
They're the ones I get asked to sign a lot,
so I feel a special connection to a Rush bottle.
- [Interviewer] For sure, and it's the classic.
- It's a classic.
- [Interviewer] You know, it's like Coca-Cola.
- Yeah, iconic.
McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Target, Rush.
Bleached hair, yay or nay?
- Yay, sure.
- [Interviewer] You can only wear one outfit
for the rest of your life, what are you wearing?
- This, like just some sporty underwear.
That's my vibe.
- [Interviewer] What would your Grindr profile name be?
- It's Charli Baby.
- [Interviewer] Angels or devils?
- Angel on the outside, devil on the inside.
- [Interviewer] Advice to younger self?
- Just like chill, you know.
Like don't be so paranoid, don't be so stressed out,
and really don't care what people think of you.
- [Interviewer] How do you like your tea?
- Black, but I'm more of a coffee person honestly.
- [Interviewer] Fish and chips or pizza and beer?
- Fish and chips, I think.
- [Interviewer] Favorite British slang?
- Okay, so some people in Britain, her.
Instead of saying like, "I need to go to the restroom,"
or "I need to go to the toilet,"
she'll go, "I need go toilet,"
which is quite funny and cute.
- [Interviewer] Which is the best song
of yours to make out to?
- Maybe "Lipgloss", 'cause it's like
kinda sexy and it's cute.
- [Interviewer] Do you have a go-to karaoke song?
- Either "Kiss" by Prince.
Or "Believe" by Cher.
- [Interviewer] Do you believe in past lives?
If so, who were you?
- Segue!
I think I do.
I don't know, I was opposite from me now, possibly.
Maybe I was an animal.
I was a gay bear on Grindr, like living my best life.
- [Interviewer] Favorite Britney album?
- "Blackout".
No hesitation, no question, "Blackout".
Maybe my favorite album, period.
- [Interviewer] Dream threesome, musical or romantic.
- Musically, if I'm going underground,
I'm going for me, Sophie, Kim Petras.
You know what, actually if I'm going for like pop moment,
I'm also going me, Kim Petras and Britney.
That would be iconic.
- [Interviewer] Which Spice Girl would you be?
- I think depending on my mood I can be any of them,
but unfortunately I don't think I'm cool enough to be Posh,
which is the goal.
Everybody wants to be Posh, but I'm just not her.
- [Interviewer] Do you like it when I call you señorita?
- I love it, but not as much as Shawn and Camila love it,
'cause they love it.
- [Interviewer] How did you get
your inspiration for "Royals"?
- Just like you know, growing up in New Zealand
and living my life and not really kind of,
like caring about the fancy things in the world.
Oh God, I'm sorry Lorde, I love you.
- [Interviewer] What would your "Real Housewives"
tagline be?
- B*tches know they can't catch me.
Vroom vroom, 'cause it's Charli baby,
or some sh*t like that.
Some vroom vroom like.
Most underrated bop?
- Like ever, or mine?
- [Interviewer] Let's do of yours.
- Oh. - And then ever.
Which would be the same thing I guess,
so let's just do yours.
- I mean, "Vroom Vroom" isn't underrated
in like the LGBTQ community,
but it should be the anthem of the world.
- [Interviewer] Favorite location to perform?
- Gross, like sweaty rave.
- [Interviewer] Last time you came?
- Arrived, you mean, last time I arrived?
- [Interviewer] Yes.
- Today, I arrived today, and it was fabulous.
- [Interviewer] You're here.
- [Charli] I'm here.
- [Interviewer] Do you have any random talents?
- I can kind of do the Worm, don't make me do it,
and it's only from knees, I can't do it from standing,
and I sometimes bang my chin.
So it's not really a great talent, unfortunately.
- [Interviewer] Who would play you in a Lifetime TV movie?
- Well, I would want it to be Christina Ricci,
but I don't know that she's gonna do Lifetime TV, you know?
Or is she?
- [Interviewer] She did "Lizzie Borden".
- I don't know what that is, but.
- [Interviewer] You're good, you've got it booked.
- Got her in the bag.
- [Interviewer] Vroom vroom or beep beep?
- Vroom vroom.
- [Interviewer] Duh.
Taxi or Uber?
- Oh, you went there.
Fine, taxi, taxi, fine, but I hate you.
- [Interviewer] Favorite album to cry to?
- My own.
- Looking for now or later?
- Looking for now.
I think I'm looking for now.
- [Interviewer] Okay, final question, Charli.
Do you wanna roll with me?
- Yes, I do, with my life.
- [Interviewer] Thank you for doing 69 questions.
We so appreciate it.
- Yay.
- [Interviewer] Break legs tonight at The Wiltern.
- I will, thank you, thank you.
Love you.
Bye, muah!
