..question & answer..

DC, if you could describe Sammy... "Sammy is a geek. (Laughs.) He likes to play basketball and he can't beat me...in video games. He's cool. He's my roommate. He's the youngest member of our group. He's the sensitive one and the jock, in some ways."

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? "I would be more motivated. I want to stay in the gym, keep my routine."

What's your favorite part about performing? "The fans. You could go up on stage totally tired and once you get up there, you're revived. I'm on. It's like a battery."

Do you prefer singing faster or slower songs? "I like slow songs."

Tell me about your album. "Let's Roll. We wrote five songs on the album. We produced three. It's very spread out. We have fans from four to 44. We have songs that are timeless. We have pop songs. It varies. It can have you dancing one minute and crying the next minute."

Why did you name the album "Let's Roll"? "Because we figure it was our first album. We just wanted to do our thing. We wanted to go with the flow, roll with it."

At times I find myself... "In the video game." (this cutie loves playing video games- who wants to challenge him?)

If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be? "I would be Roger Rabbit. He's crazy and off the wall."

Where do you see yourself in 20 years? "Relaxing with my video game room near a golf course. I already see it. It has a padlock on it so no one can get in there. Not even the kids." Dallas: "Can you tell he's an only child? He doesn't like to share."

Favorite phrase... "That's Dope." (recently... it's "aiight".. he's got me started now... aiighty?)

If you were going to the moon, what three things would you bring with you? "I would bring my Playstation, my Dreamcast, and my computer." (Don't forget the socket and the TV to plug everything into!)

How do you define romance? "I think romance to me is being able to connect with somebody."

Single? "Yes!"

Who's your ideal girl? "I would have to say a combo of few ladies. I like variety."

Hey DC. On your CD cover, you thanked Jim Carrey and some other comedians for your abs. What's that all about? "Because they make me laugh. Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, and Adam Sandler are my idols."

If you could chose your dream tour, who'd be on it with you guys? "Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, 'Nsync and 98 Degrees all on one huge tour. That would rock."

What kind of music are you listening to these days? "I listen to, like, Sublime and alternative [music]. I listen to all kinds of stuff, from country to rap to rock."

What's the best part about your job? "Probably the fans, and you get to travel. It's so weird to see all these people. It's like they heard our music, and it touched them in some way because they're showing us affection."

Message to the fans: "Stay young."
