Macy Gray: The Six-Pack Q&A

8/22/07, 3:53 pm EST

Rolling Stone posed six questions to kooky neo-soul star Macy Gray. She revealed that she’s ready to begin a career as a pimp, is a Cold War Kids fan and plays a wicked hand of poker.

What is the most rock star thing that you have ever done?
You either are a rock star or you aren’t. If you are a rock star you just are, you don’t have rock-star moments.

What was your favorite record when you were fourteen?
It was Purple Rain and Thriller. But Purple Rain was my favorite album until I became an adult. In college Appetite for Destruction was my favorite. I love that album.

What’s on your current playlist?
I love Timbaland. My favorite songs right now are “The Way I Are” and “Umbrella” by Rihanna. Those are just hot songs. Also Cold War Kids’ “Hang Me Up To Dry.” It’s not trying to be pop, it’s just a real rock song.

How do you think you’ll know when it’s time to retire?
I don’t see myself retiring. I think I’m always going to do something.

Who’s the coolest person you have ever met?
The coolest people in my life are my kids.

What other profession can you see yourself doing?
I could see myself pimpin’. I know they say pimpin’ ain’t easy but it just seems like something I could do. It’s just so accessible. I could be Heidi Fleiss. Other than that, I would be a professional poker player. I’m not that good, but I could make money at it. Yesterday I played and I made $600, and today I made $700. So if I did that every day, four days a week … do I have to report it though?

Gear up for grub with a tripleheader of pigskin, including a meeting of brothers in Dallas. Everybody knows it’s been a rough year for her, but find out who else had issues

Macy Gray rocks. If anything, I wish she were wilder. I think Columbia asked her to reign in the wack factor after her 2nd album didn’t sell as well as the first. But her freak flag is a strong as her soul banner, she should work both to the hilt. Don’t take no schiznit, Macy…be your ultracool self!

Can someone call the IRS on this poker-cheating wack-job skank? But I did like her in Spider-man.

“I don’t see myself retiring. I think I’m always going to do something.” Spoken like a person who has never worked a day in her life. I hope she ends up mopping semen in porn shop. Hey kids,don’t forget to give her your parents hard earned cash!

You actually found 6 questions to ask this no talent person. Question 1- “How do you suck so bad and still you managed to become famous?” Question 2- “Actually, are you still famous?”…no, interview over
