AND THE FIRST QUESTION FROM THE TIN IS...
Could you beat Liam Gallagher in a fight?
That'd be easy-peasy-Japanesey. He's all front and I'm not
(ahem). No, verbally I could. I reckon deep down he's quite a
shy, soft-centered person. Don't believe the hype, I say.
Can you sing?
(Affronted) Well, that is open to public opinion, really.
(Warbles like an opera singer). I do my best. Everyone can sing.
If the plural of mouse is mice, why is the plural of house not
hice?
(After a puzzled pause) Because... I know why. It's just the same
concept as us! If you've got lots of girl power you've got spice.
The plural of spouse is spice? Exactly! These questions are quite
silly, aren't they? (Yup!)
Do your quilt cover and curtains match?
No. I've got no curtains so everyone can see in when I'm getting
undressed. There you go!
If you could swap places with someone, who would it be?
(Thinks for a bit) Well, I don't mind being me, but if I had to
be someone else I'd quite like to be the Bionic Woman, or Wonder
Woman. They're both cool - they've got girl power!
How many times have you been in love?
(After a pause) I've thought I was loads and loads of times - so
many I fail to remember. I know I'm in love when I grin a lot,
and the world seems basically a nicer place. (Coming over all
philosophical) Then again, what is love? I'm in love with the
whole world, you know?
TOUGH COOKIE!
Why do your clothes keep falling off?
Well, they're not currently falling off, but they did in the
past, yes. It was just something I wanted to do at the time and
everyone's got to see it! I don't think it's a big deal.
Everyone's done it!
Who's your worst enemy?
I'm my worst enemy sometimes. It's like everybody says - you've
got to believe in yourself, but sometimes I lead myself into
trouble. Then again, my real worst enemy is anyone who's
prejudiced and narrow-minded.
Have you ever belched in a really embarassing place?
Yeah... where was it the other day? Oh, ha ha ha ha, it was in
front of Shirley Bassey's manager. I was desperately trying to
hold it in, so that was quite embarassing. I just pretended it
wasn't me. To make matters worse, I was laughing anyway because I
could have sworn he wore a wig.
How many pairs of underpants do you own?
Err (pausing), endless pants. I throw them away after every, erm,
use. (Reconsidering) No, I don't own any. I'm knickerless! So the
papers say.
Have you ever sent flowers to anyone?
Yep, lots of times. I've sent them to guys, sent them to my
friends, I've sent them to the girls in the band, to cheer them
up. I've sent dead people flowers, in a wreath.
TOUGH COOKIE!
Why have you got a blokes name?
Maybe I was meant to be a boy, but I turned out to be a girl and
they couldn't think of anything else. I'm glad I'm not confirming
to stereotyped gender roles. I think the future's androgynous
anyway, where boys and girls just blend into one. Definitely!
What's the most annoying thing anyone's ever said to you?
(Thinks hard) I can't think of anything - God, my brain's dead
today. Even reviews never annoy me. You get good ones and bad
ones, it balances out. When girls on the street come up to us and
say they like us, it's the most genuine form of respect you can
get. It's the most truthful form, and that's what we're looking
for - truth. When you get a bad review it's just a journalist,
not a fan. I've developed a good sense of humour about people
slagging us off, and I always question why they're writing it in
the first place. There's always an ulterior motive. If someone
writes something nasty, it's probably because they're not very
happy in themselves - they're insecure, or whatever.
How much money have you got in the bank?
More than I did when I was on the dole, leave it at that!
Where do you go in your dreams?
(Rapturously) I go everywhere in my dreams. Dreaming is the best
escapism - I love it. I dream about all sorts. I've got a
dream-catcher above my bed so I can remember them when I have
good dreams. Sometimes I dream that I'm flying through space or
above the world, and sometimes I dream about real-life
situations. Sometimes they come true. For instance, I dreamt that
we would do an advert for our album and we did.
If you could be on the cover of Smash Hits with anyone, who
would it be?
Besides my four mates in the band, I'd probably get someone who
doesn't normally go on the Smash Hits cover, someone like Noel
Gallagher. He's been on the front cover? Did he sell many issues?
Not as many as us, I bet.
Which are better, digestives or rich tea biscuits?
Oh, I can't decide, they're both nice. But digestives are
definitely better to dunk. I like a good dunk. (Don't we all!)
Tell me a dark family secret.
Erm, that my step-uncle is related to Prince Charles. (!!!)
TOUGH COOKIE!
Why won't you admit that you fancy Peter Andre?
I never put my hand up to anything! Mind you, people have been
going on about it so much that I might snog him anyway - if he'd
let me. Only in fun though - I don't really fancy him, in truth,
and I'm a very truthful person.
