NO! NOT THE BISCUIT TIN!

Interview between Smash Hits magazine and Lene!

How would you describe yourself in a lonely hearts column?
Oh! Hahaha!  Erm, okah...I'm rather crazy and warm-hearted.  I love 
animals, too more than human beings, I think!  And I'm really impulsive, 
sometimes too much.  Oh, and I've got a really hot temper!  If you think 
you can cope with that lot, you can stick with me!

Would you expose your privates for charity?
(Oops, a slight language barrier!)  What do you mean there? (A blushing 
Hits reporter explains.)  Erm, I don't think so.  I would rather give 
some money of my own.  I don' thtink it's wrong to strip, as long as it's 
a beautiful photo.  If Playboy asked me one day, then maybe!

What's the most important thing your parents taught you as a child?
To be honest with them.  That's not always easy to do when you're a 
child, because you might think something is too embarassing to tell your 
parents.  One of the most embarassing things I had to tell them was... 
well when I started my periods when I was 11 years old and I was 
embarrassed to tell my mother.

When was the last time you had BO?
What's a BO? (Ahem, the Hits explains it's when you get a bit sweaty and 
smelly).  Oh! I think that was actually yesterday when we were shooting 
the video for Lollipop.  I was wearing a space outfit and the lights were 
really hot, so I was sweating loads!  I used Calvin Klein deoderant, but 
even that wasn't tough enough.  I was lucky cos I got to change my 
outfit, but the boys had to stay in theirs all day, so they were really 
sweaty!  I wouldn't go near them afterwards!

What's under your bed?
A lot of dust!  I haven't looked underneath my bed for ages.  I know my 
sleepingbag is down there, and 10 pairs of shoes and a mattress.  There 
are probably one or two socks too.  It's like a lost and found!  Is my 
room tidy?  No, I'm extremely messy!

Do you dream alot?
Yes!  I'm lucky cos I remember amost every dream I have.  You just have 
to lie still fora  second or two when you wake up so it doesn't fade away.

Have you ever been cross with a fan?
No, but I'vwe been a bit scared.  Once in Norway, we were in this crowd 
and everyone was jumping and pulling at us, I'm only short so I was a bit 
worried!

Can you answer this question without saying "yes" or "no"?
(Thinks for a couple of secs, then proudly...) Of course I can!

Have you ever thought another girl was attractive?
Yeah, I think everyone has.  I think it's easier for girls to admit to it 
because it's more acceptable.  It's easier for girlfriends to fall a 
little bit in love with each other cos they're more open.

Who was the last person you saw naked?
Er, that was one of my friends, yesterday.  I'm seeing a guy in Denmark, 
and I saw him naked.  He saw me naked too! (Oo-er! What would Ken say?! - 
Ed.)

Have you ever flown in a helicopter?
No, I haven't.  I want to have a licence to drive a helicopter one day, 
but so far I've not been in one.

Would you be a fan of yourself if you weren't you?
Erm, that's a really tough question.  Erm yeah, why not!  If I saw the 
Barbie video, I think I would like what everyone else likes about our 
song - that it's funny and, the same time ironic.

Do you floss your teeth?
No, I don't.  I've never had a problem with my teeth.  What do I do first 
thing in the morning?  I get up straight away, stumble into the bathroom, 
try to open my eyes and get into the shower.  But I'm so messy that it 
takes me half an hour just ti figure out what I'm goign to wear!

Why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa Lean?
Oh my god!  Bad architecture?  I don't know - it must be something to do 
with an earthquake or something?  Should they fix it?  No, it's better 
left leaning.

If teh plural of mouse is mice, why isn't the plural of house "hice"? 
(Lene reads out the question and struggles to pronounce the words>)  Oh 
my, can I skip this one?  Haha!  It's not fair - I never heard of this 
before.  Is it like a saying?  What does it mean?

How much money does Aqua have?
As a band?  I don't know how much money we'be got, because I don't think 
about it.  But I know we've got enough money to buy us what we want, to 
invbest some and to give some away to charity.

Have you ever skinny dipped?
Oh yeah, many times!  In Norway, I've been skinny dipping many, many 
times.  It's lovely.  I'd recommend it to everyone.
