Digital DishDiva :o0oBabyGirlo0o Asks: Hey Chris! I was just wondering if you had an email address where fans can write to you? Chris Kirkpatrick : Just on the site, if you post, I'm always on there checking them. I read a lot of posts that I don't think people realize I read. Digital DishDiva :luckyweave Says: I know you have the flame tattoo on your ankle. Do you have any others? Chris Kirkpatrick : Yeah, I have a dragon up my calf. Digital DishDiva :Swinkie007 Asks: You were on "Touched by and Angel" with Charlotte Church, what do you think of her? Chris Kirkpatrick : She is the sweetest girl in the world and when she sings it's amazing to see that voice come out of that little girl. Digital DishDiva :deprivedrage Asks: Hi Chris, I was wondering has being famous changed you for the better or worse? Chris Kirkpatrick : I don't think it's changed me at all. Danielle says: He's very down to Earth. Chris Kirkpatrick : I still have the same values, Just now more people pay attention to me. Digital DishDiva :Raches Says: What is your best childhood memory? Chris Kirkpatrick : That it's over (laughs) Chris Kirkpatrick : I think Christmas is always everyone's best childhood memory. We didn't have any money and that was the time we could pull together and get one little thing. Digital DishDiva :NSYNCRULES says:What's the first big thing you bought when you made it big? Chris Kirkpatrick : Turntable. I bought a set of turntables and practiced on them. Now I have a house, that's a huge thing. Digital DishDiva :AcuteLubin Says: Besides an artist, what would you want to be? Chris Kirkpatrick : A football player. I thought I would be a great football player, but I was always too small. But I had a lot of heart. Digital DishDiva :minnielucy Says: Chris, I know that you traveled most of the world, have you ever traveled to Alaska? Digital DishDiva : What is your favorite place you've been to? Chris Kirkpatrick : I haven't been to Alaska yet, but I'd love to go because I have a good friend Scott Gomez that lives in Alaska. I think my favorite place is Africa that I've visited. Chris Kirkpatrick : You know, we went to Japan, and we ordered sushi and we went to a Kobe place and when they splashed the shrimp with lemon, it blinked! Digital DishDiva :SevereBarbecue Asks: Do you find it sometimes difficult to sing your best and dance at the same time? Chris Kirkpatrick : Sometimes you get really worn out. Toward the end when we have four fast songs in the row, by the 4th I'm OUT of breath. Digital DishDiva : You guys put on amazing shows. Chris Kirkpatrick : We did a show at Texas stadium in Dallas and our bass player passed out because it was so hot. Digital DishDiva :cakata1 Says: What is the one question no one has ever asked that you wish they would? And what is the answer? Chris Kirkpatrick : I guess the one question is what's Busta's favorite food to eat. Chris Kirkpatrick : Butterfinger candybars. Chris Kirkpatrick : When we went on tour he would just eat the whole candybar. Chris Kirkpatrick : He's the best dog! When I'm home, he sits with me the whole time. Danielle says: Then he leaves and Busta poops everywhere. (laughs) Digital DishDiva :OklahomaGurlAshley Asks: Hiya Chris! What is the most exciting thing that you have done that you probably wouldn't have had the opportunity if you were not famous? Chris Kirkpatrick : One of the most exciting things, I went to the Monday Night Football game last night and last year I got to go to the Super Bowl and sit on the sidelines. That meant a lot to me. Also meeting famous people, when a musician comes up to us and says they like our music, that means a lot. Digital DishDiva : Chris, the last question tonight is from Aliya who says: What is your most treasured item? Chris Kirkpatrick : I don't know, I have a lot of really cool things. I like my music room because I have a lot of cool equipment. My picture of The Beatles. I got to meet Paul McCartney and I almost cried that was a highlight. Digital DishDiva : Chris, thanks for joining us tonight on MSN Live! Best of luck with FuMan Skeeto! Merry Christmas and Happiest of New Year's from all of your fans and friends here on MSN.com! Chris Kirkpatrick : Have a happy FuHoliday! I hope everyone enjoys the site and enjoys what the site represents. Thanks for supporting NSYNC and making such a great year. |
