Do you use to pinch things from the hotel-rooms?
Kian:
In most cases not, but if there is shoe-polish it uses to slip into the bag…

When was the last time you threw up?
Shane:
I haven’t done it for a very long time. But I remember when I had stuffed myself with a lot of plums and peanuts ‘til I felt so sick that I puked. There were purple spots with brown dots all over the walls…

When did you feel like you were popstars for the first time?
Kian:
I don’t feel like one yet. Maybe when we’ve released five albums and sold millions all over the world. But the first time I felt that this might become something was when we’d won a price in England that the fans had voted out for us. Those things mean the most.

Have you ever lied about your age?
Shane:
When I was younger I used to say that I was 18 even though I only were 13. Sometimes it worked out, but when the girls caught me they didn’t want to date me anymore… But now I always tell my real age. I’m proud of being 19 years old and you always get caught in the end if you’re lying.

What question in interviews annoys you?
Kian:
The question if we hate being called a boyband. We ARE a boyband, and that is what we always wanted to be.

Is it easy for you to "I’m sorry"?
Kian:
I don’t have any problems saying it, but if I know I’m right I refuse to give in. But we never fight in the group, only over little things like someone has to move his butt. We have to be together 24 hours a day the next five years, so of course we get home sick. Then I use to think that this is our dream come true. Every two weeks we use to sit down and talk about the problems of the last 14 days. Afterwards it’s usually good again. We’re all friends before we go to sleep.

Have you been part of anything embarrassing lately?
Shane:
When played live on TV in front of an audience someone threw a teddy bear right in my face. I was completely taken aback and froze, cause it hurt. It looked really silly on TV afterwards…

Would you walk naked through Stockholm for all the money in the world?
Kian:
Definitely. Then I would wake around with my hands in the air! But I would never appear in a pin-up magazine, I think that is like selling your soul.

What do you do when you are alone?
Shane:
Sleep. I try to get eight hours sleep every night, so sometimes I have to skip the sightseeing, just to get some sleep. It’s exhausting, even though this life is what we’ve dreamt of. And if I get time over I always call my parents or someone else of the family. We talk every day.

What CD is in your stereo right now?
Kian:
The soundtrack to Titanic. Nicky said that it was good, and it really is. I like classical and romantic music.
Shane: I love Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey and others who have a great voice. I love listening to music, get carried away and hope that me, myself, can get as good as them in the future. I am a true dreamer.
