What’s your favorite subject?
I love math. One of my best subjects is language arts – spelling. I love history. I’m on my third “Little House on the Prairie” book.
You are very involved in your church. Tell me a little about that.
We drive out to Simi every Sunday to attend Discovery, a really great church. They have the best programs for kids with a giant stage. It looks like the inside of a house. It’s a set, and they do all these skits with lights and smoke. It’s really cool. They also have a fake street called 252 Street with fake walls and bike shops and movie theatres – a whole street inside.
What do they do with it?
You can go into each shop or movie theatre, and inside each one the different age groups meet.
You’re involved in music, just like your dad – right?
I got attached to piano, the keyboards. I play a lot by ear and I’m learning to read music. I play “Journey” [I'm assuming he's referencing the group here … since "DSB" is a Journey song (?).] and “Don’t Stop Believing.”
Do you ever play Commodores music?
Yes.
What’s your favorite song?
Oh, so many! But “Night Shift,” “Machine Gun.” And I love “Brick House.” Have you ever heard that one?
Oh, yeah. (Humming a few bars.) I actually danced to that song, many years ago, at a Commodores concert. I’m very old, you know. So tell me a little about your faith. I hear you’re a Christian.
From the beginning, I’ve always been a full Christian, totally into God. He has blessed me with everything. What he has done in my life is so great.
You mean all of your success?
Everything! The blessing that I get to live here in Malibu, at the beach. That I get to have all these friends and meet all these people. Just all the stuff that he’s blessing me with – Charlotte’s Web” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
“Pirates of the Caribbean” – wow. The sequel?
Right, the third one. But I can’t tell anyone about it.
Are you looking forward to filming with Johnny Depp?
Well….I can’t say anything. Because, his character died in the last movie, right? Yeah, he did.
So what you’re saying is, you can’t tell me whether he’s alive.
Right. I can’t tell anybody what my part is, either. But I’m going to start filming in Hawaii in January.
