The Olsen twins: Is it a miracle they've survived this long in the entertainment biz?
"No. I like Mary-Kate and Ashley. They're talented. They work very hard at what they do and they have good publicists ... backing them up."	"Yeah. They're kind of overrated. All you do is remember them from 'Full House,' so I can't really see them as (anything) other than that."	"Yes it's a miracle, considering how (others) flame out after growing up from being a childhood actor."
Best Island Music concert: Birthday Bash, Bomb Bucha or Jammin' Hawaiians?
"Bomb Bucha and Jammin' (Hawaiians) are pretty good, but I like Bomb Bucha."	"Birthday Bash. I went to that like, two times, and both times it was pretty good."	"I've never been to any of them ... I didn't know those three (concerts) existed. I listen to a lot of house."
Are you doing anything special for mom this weekend?
"Yes -- we're going to have a party with our whole family and then we're going to take her out to dinner."	"Yeah -- take her out to dinner."	"Mom's back at home in L.A., so pretty much just sending a card. (She's) actually coming to the islands next week, so I'll be (seeing) her then."
