Guy presenter: I believe you turned 14 two days ago...
Aaron: Yep, two days ago, December 7.
Guy: Happy birthday.
Aaron: Thank you man, thank you.
Guy: Did you get any cool presents?
Aaron: Yeah, I got a lotta cool presents, it was cool. I got a whole bunch of X-Box games, 'cause I just got a X-Box too.
Guy: What did Nick give you?
Aaron: You know, it was funny 'cause my record label got me an X-Box, and then my brother got me an X-Box. So I got two X-Box and I was like "Nick, I already got one", he was like "Oh okay, I'll get you somethin' else". So I don't know, I gotta wait till he gets back.
Guy: That's cool. So the video for this soundtrack, ooks like it was pretty cool to make. You get to do like this zero gravity backflip, how did you do that?
Aaron: Well first I had to do like ten back tucks in a row, and then they finally put me on a strap to learn how to do it, so they strapped a harness on and did the backflip through.
Guy: Looked pretty cool. And then you turn into kinda CGI Aaron. Did they motion capture you for that?
Aaron: Yeah, they did, they did everything. They put like...
Guy: The diodes on you?
Aaron: Exactly, yep. It was awesome.
Guy: Oh wow, really cool, really cool. So have you seen the completed movie?
Aaron: Yeah, I've seen not the completed movie, I've seen the unedited, the uncompleted movie. I've seen a little bit of it though.
Guy: What do you think of it?
Aaron: It's awesome, I love it. I love the part when he goes "I'm peeing in the shower!"
Guy: That's my favorite part too actually!
Aaron: Yeah, he goes "I'm still peeing!", its funny.
Guy: So is there a real 'I'm All About You' girl in Aaron's life?
Aaron: A real 'I'm All About You' girl um... as of right now, there isn't, but I'm sure I'll end up finding someone somewhere.
Guy: So that song wasn't written with anyone in mind specifically?
Aaron: It was, a long time ago, I had a girl that I was seeing, her name was Nikki and it was wrote about that girl.
Guy: Kind of a more serious question, on your recent album, you've got the song 'Not Too Young, Not Too Old', and theres some kind of um... I don't know, I mean, I was surprised 'cause you were thirteen when you recorded it, kind of suggestive lyrics. You kinda say like "Hey girl, climb in the back seat" and stuff. I don't know, I was just a little surprised hearing it from a thirteen-year-old and most of your audience is probably also young girls, right?
Aaron: Yeah well - yeah, thats true er... I don't know, thats a good question because, well I guess they were trying to get into, like, the older audience. But what it's trying to reffer to is I'm trying to do that, but my brother is trying to simmer me down. Because I'm trying to get with all these girls and trying to hook up with all these girls, then my brother's trying to calm me down 'cause he's been through all that and he's just trying to calm me down and settle it down a little bit.
Guy: Do you ever feel pressure, though? I mean you're 13 years old , now you're 14, but people look as kind of a rolemodel, I guess. You kinda act right in the public eye and stuff.
Aaron: Yeah well, I mean I have a lot of, you know, fans, and I definately love being a role model, and that's the one thing, you know you gotta watch out for, you gotta be true to your fans and you've gotta stick with them.
Guy: So what kind of music do you like to listen to when you're just relaxing?
Aaron: Me, I like to listen to a lotta the old stuff. Journey, I listen to Journey, who else do I listen to? I actually like Linkin Park and POD and a lotta rock groups.
Guy: So what's your favorite movie?
Aaron: Well, I would tell you Jimmy Neutron but I haven't seen the finished version yet, I'll have to tell you after I see it.
Guy: Okay, what's your favorite video game?
Aaron: My favorite video game is... well they used to have an old game, Ninja Turtles, for the old Nintendo System and I haven't seen it since, but I wanna try to find it. That was my favorite game.
Guy: On the soundtrack you have three songs and you've already made the video for one, are you gonna be doing videos for the other two?
Aaron: I don't think we are gonna be doing any videos for the other two, but we did the other songs and it was great, it went really well.
Guy: Well thats cool, well good work on the album. Thanks a lot.
Aaron: Thank you.
