What's the most embarrassing photo of you in existence?
Emm....ohh....(Pauses for about fifty years) I dunno, it's not embarassing,
but there's a photo of me dancing with this really weird expression on my face (is it only one foto?!).
That's not embarassing? Well, I dunno, I am making a really "funky" face.
Can you answer this question without saying 'yes' or 'no'?
What question? (Khm...)
Who is your idol?
Let's see. I haven't got one particular idol, but there are a lot of people I admire for their different
abilities. I really like Prince, Brian McKnight , Billy Joel, Elton John... I love their ability to write beautiful
songs and I really admire them for having stayed in the business so long. I guess you could say I'd like
to be like them, yeah.
Where's your favorite place in the whole world?
Kentucky - it's where my family live. I've lived in Orlando for about six years now, but Kentucky's
my real home. I love it around Christmas time - my whole family get together round my grandparents'
house and we have a big dinner, open gifts and sing carols. It's really cool. Brian comes, as well.
Where do you buy your underwear?
Anywhere I can. Usually in department stores. I wear like, the new-style cotton boxes, Tommy
Hilfiger ones.(Yeah! He's really crazy for that Tomy!) I don't know if you guys have them over
there. Ant & Dec wear them? What, both of them?
How do you see yourself in the year 2010?
(Weary pause.) I'll definitely be older, that's for sure.(Doh!)
Hopefully by then, I'd like to balance a musical career and a family. And if that's not possible, I'd like to
continue my stage musical career - just to write and produce for other people.
But I definitely want to have a family. I'd have at least two, maybe three kids. I've got two older brothers,
so I like big families.
If you found Aladdin's lamp, what would you wish for?
(He found it every day when he worked at Disney!)
For peace, success in life...and, this might be too serious or too depressing for you, but I'd wish that
I'd spent another day with my father before he passed away. And I'd wish that he hadn't passed away.
(Oh...)
What happen to your soul when you die?
I definitely believe that there is another place beyond this world, because I grew up in a Christian
home. I believe that there's a heaven, but as I've been travelling, I've been introduced to a lot of other
different religions and different cultures, and it's really weird. I'm still trying to find out and cultivate what
I truly, truly believe in.
Do you miss Take That? (Where are those questions coming from?!)
Erm, I was never really that familiar with their music. I do think they were a talented bunch of guys,
though - especially Gary, with his songwriting and his voice. The only one I was really familiar with
was Want You Back...was that the title? (Erm, no...) That was a good song. I like
Million Love Songs as well - that's really pretty. But I never really listened to their music...
Which are better, digestive or rich tea?
What are they? Oh, biscuits. I've never had either of them.
If you could swap places with someone for a day, who would it be?
I'd like to be the President for a day, just to see what's it's like to be in his shoes. What laws would
I pass? Erm, I think there needs to be more money put into cancer and AIDS research, especially since
my dad died from cancer. I'd just use the money they have for better things.
What does heaven look like?
Well, you hear stories about clouds and white and everything... I dunno, I think it's probably just a
beautiful, peaceful place. Just pretty green grass, beautiful trees.....I dunno, you have all these ideas,
but you never know.
Where does Jarvis Cocker buy his clothes?
Excuse me? Oh, Pulp! He's probably gets them from vintage clothing shops. Do I admire his sense
of style? Erm... I haven't really paid that much attention, but I think vintage clothing in cool (whhhaaaat???!!!).
I like the retro look - its good for going to a party or something. But yeah, I think that look's kinda cool.
What deodorant do you use?
I use Nivea. I discovered that over here.
Have you ever cheated on a girlfriend?
Yes, I have. It wasn't planned, it just sorta happened. I felt guilty afterwards.
Yeah, I wouldn't do it again. I didn't like the way I felt. I try to be honest with people - that's the best
policy. If you do that, you'll be at peace with yourself.
What's your favorite fruit?
I like bananas, just because of training and stuff. It's good to have a lot of potassium - it keeps
you from getting cramps in your muscles. Peter Andre eats a lot of bananas too.
Are you happy with you name? (Hey, what's wrong with his name?!)
(Surprised.) Yeah! I've never wanted to change it. (And don't you ever change it!)
Have you ever flown in a helicopter?
No, but I'd love to - I've always loved flying. In high school, I was always debating whether to go to
college, or to follow my dream in entertainment, or whether to go into the airforce and become a pilot.
I've had some flying lessons, but I've never been up in a helicopter.
What's your idea of a brilliant party?
Just a lot of good, close friends, some good music and some good food. Finger food, junk food,
chips and dips. Vol au vents? What are they? Oh no, I'm not into that fancy hors d'oeuvres thing.
Just give me some chips and some dip and some sandwiches and some desert and everything's cool.
(Phew!)
Have you ever broken any bones?
I'm not sure. I think I might have broken my thumb once. I did fracture it (that's the same thing!)
dancing, but that was only a hairline break, no big deal. It was very painful, though. But I've never
broken an arm or leg.
