Taryll: TJ just graduated, and I'm very proud of him. Actually, I think I got of him making excuses about how hard it is getting up early. I know it was hard, but he was being a baby about it.
Taj: He twirls pens between his fingers all the time. It's just a habit. He's not showing off - it's just a bit like a drumstick. When we started the band, TJ was the drummer.
Taryll: He likes to take showers at the last second. Like when we say, 'Alright let's go!' - that's when he gets ready.
Taj: But TJ is very smart.
Taryll: Yeah, he knows where he wants to go. We all do, but that's his field, I guess. It's the business end - what we should be doing, where we should'nt be heading.
Taj: That's really important, otherwise you could be manipulated, like we were in the beginning. They tried to change us.
Taryll: And they wanted to keep the name, call us The Jackson Three or something.
Taj : Anyway, TJ is Mr Business and he's also the girl magnet, the teen idol. Wherever we go, everyone just shouts 'TJ! TJ!'. It's funny seeing people screaming at your brother like that.
Taryll: He wants to do modelling, and get into movies. He likes photography.
Taj: He likes junk food too. He eats badly.
Taryll: It's either McDonalds or Pizza Huts.
Taj: TJ takes very little stuff on tour with him. He usually wears our clothes, so he definitely has the lightest bag.
Taryll: I think Tj has only had two girlfriends, both lasting over a year. None of us are quick to fall in love. That's why it's so hard for us now, cause we're all really picky. (TJ suddenly walks in.)
TJ: Oh, sorry, are you not finished yet?
Taj: Yeah, TJ, we're finished now.
TJ: Taj spends the most money out all of us, mostly on computers and video games.
Taryll: He'll spend money that he doesn't have on things he doesn't need and won't use.
TJ: And then he has to sell it, two weeks later. When we were younger, we use to have room sales. We'd put little price on things and have sale times - 'By one, get one free', hahaha.
Taryll : It's true.
Taryll: Taj is funny.
TJ: He's very visionary, very creative. He wants to go into videos, directing, film-making. He's editing a special version of Anything for us.
Taryll: He watches old Beatles' footage and likes to shoot little black-and-white movies of us.
TJ: He talks a lot, too. Taj can talk for ours. He can stay on the phone for ever. He's a good communicator, but he has no sense of time. He's in another world sometimes.
Taryll: Like when he's driving in the slowest line, listening to the radio.
TJ: He's definitely different to everyone else. He looks at the world differently...kinda like Forrest Gump.
Taryll: Taj is the nicest. He would never say anything mean or cruel. People go to him first 'cause he's the friendliest. A real 'home body', too - he never really goes out.
TJ: That's because he's lazy. He won't come out of his room sometimes. He reads a lot of books, too - about technology, films...stuff like that.
Taryll: That's the only person I know who brings books to the cinema or a baseball game.
TJ: If Taj wasn't in 3T, we'd be pretty aggressive. Us too get mad and say if we're upset at something, but Taj is really quiet.
Taryll: It'd be strange without Taj. He gives a whole other side to 3T. He's a really great guy.
