A life of kings

Questions for Isaac

-Do you guys ever go to the celebrity parties?
No, not at all. We go to those only like once a month, and even then, we only stay about an hour. It's not enough to meet celebrities! At the end of about an hour there is always one of us that goes "Dad, can we go home now?". We'd rather go to concerts then go to those parties.

-How are the V.I.P parties?
Really boring, because most people in this business are boring. They only come to those parties to make they're relations better. But the other day, we we're at this party with Sheryl Crow and Boyz II Men so it wasn't too bad. But the food was horrible: there was only these fish patés, when we wanted to eat chips and hot dogs.

-What did you get on your last birthday?
We all got the same thing on our birthdays this year : paintball guns. We bought the same thing for our three best friends, and when we get together, we have paintball wars!!!

-What kind of gifts do you get from your fans?
Oh, a bunch of stuff: shirts, games, teddy bears, everything. Our fans are so cute because you can see that they thought carefully about the gift before givng it to us. We try to write back to people who send us gifts, but when you start writng back you get another gift and it just doesn't end!

-Do you help your mom when you're home?
Oh yeah! The three of us help mom to do dishes and clean the house. It's normal. Don't think we have maids, it's not our style.

-What is the worst chore for you?
Changing diapers. We have a new baby sister, Zoe, and we have to change her a lot. We're seven in our family and I've changed the diapers of four of us, including Zac!

Questions for Zac

-Who is the coolest star you've met?
Puff Daddy. He is really cool. He doesn't talk much but he's nice. I met him on the Concorde between London and New York . I went "Yo!" and he went "Yo Zac!"

-Do you take the Concorde a lot?
We've already taken it twice. It's too cool! You fly so high that you can see the Earth's curve! The only problem is that the windows are really small.

-Have you seen Titanic and did you cry at the end?
We saw in a theatre in New York. I didn`t cry, are you crazy? I would have cried if I had been with a girl to show her I was sensitive. This afternoon, we saw Good Will Hunting. The director is the guy who directed our video "Weird." We're real movie stars now!

-Do you pick your nose?
You know someone who doesn't? I am sure the President of the United States does it. Look at his nose! (laughs)

Questions for Taylor

-Is there anything you couldn't live without?
Right now, a pen to sign autographs. We always get asked for one. I think I've signed a million in a year.

-Do your fans sometimes ask you to sign their bodies?
Yeah, but I don't like it, it's really too weird. The other day, this girl asked me to sign her back, and I felt really uncomfortable.

-What about you, have you ever asked for an autograph of a celebrity?
No, it's not my style. I'm not the kind a guy that jumps up and down and screams when he sees a celebrity. But it's cool when our fans do that.

-Do people sometimes treat you like a V.I.P?
The other day, we went to McDonald's and they served us before everybody and gave a special place to sit. Everybody was looking at us and whispering and pointing. I was so embarassed.
