Tony Oller
TWIST: You just had your music video premiere this weekend. How excited were you?
Tony: Well, it's really exciting because I've had those songs in my iTunes forever and I've been really wanting them to get out to the public and see what the fans think. They're catchy songs that express my feelings and the video is kind of like Maroon 5's beat and style. I've been getting a lot of comments and messages on Myspace saying how much they like the song. And I think it was a success, and I still have two more music videos coming. I think for the first time, "Could You Be The One" did its job!

TWIST: What inspired you to write your music?
Tony: I try to do whatever I'm thinking, whatever's going on in my life. And eventually I come up with the music and so on. Usually I always try to put a positive message without it being cheesy, more like a hidden message, so it's open for interpretation.

TWIST: Do you write a lot about girls?
Tony: Well, actually I do. The first song I wrote called, "Love At First Sight," was about a girl that I grew up with that lived right across the street from me. A lot of my songs usually have girls involved but it's not just girls, there's other stuff too. But definitely one of the main influences is the chicas!

TWIST: Did your neighbor ever hear the song?
Tony: She did, she loves the song. I actually haven't told her about it, but I think we both have an agreement that it is about her!

TWIST: What's it like to combine your singing and acting this season on As The Bell Rings?
Tony: Well, I'd say it's a dream come true because I'm a musician that's an actor, not an actor that wanted to be a musician. I think it was really cool because last season Demi got to share her music, I think it is really cool that I got to share my music, too. And it was really cool to go in the studio again and record. It was unbelievable - I'm still like, 'Don't pinch me because this is a dream!'

TWIST: What can you tell us about season two of As The Bell Rings?
TONY: Of course, there's more music videos on the way. Also Collin does a lot of funny impersonations. This season, we got to show off everything we do. Gabriella, who's a dancer, got to show her dancing skills. We're all very happy with the season. Last season was kind of like a starting point, this season we were more comfortable and had a blast doing it.

TWIST: So tell me one of your favorite memories of being in school?
TONY: I'm still in school. I'm actually going to be in my senior year this year. I think there's going to be a lot of good memories my senior year. Some of my memories were of being a freshman - it was scary going into high school! I had my first real girlfriend my freshman year. That's a good memory because you can actually date and your parents don't laugh when you have a girlfriend because you're actually old enough! High school is something you're always going to remember. I have a close group of friends - high school in general is going to be an awesome memory.

TWIST: What's something that a lot of people don't know about you?
TONY: I'm a pretty open guy. A lot of people think that I live in LA and I don't. I live in Houston, I'm just an average Joe! I'm just a normal kid living a dream.

Seth Ginsberg
TWIST: So tell us about season 2 of As The Bell Rings.
Seth: Well it's almost like season one although it's a lot more fun! There's more stuff going on, more crazy things that happen in school. We got the new character Lindsey that's replacing Demi, too. It's just a lot crazier and more fun!

TWIST: You mentioned Demi leaving, how does Lindsey fit in?
Seth: Oh yeah, Lindsey's great! We all liked her. I've known her for a while actually, we had the same acting class and everything, so we were already friends when she came in. And I respect her, she's a good actress, and it was really fun working with her definitely.

TWIST: Any plans for Season 3?
Seth: We're not sure yet. We're hoping there's gonna be a season three, of course. Me and Collin Cole actually wrote an episode. We were hoping they would use it and we were told that if we did come back for a season three, we would use the episode that we actually wrote. So that's pretty cool!

TWIST: That's awesome. Congrats! So tell us about one of your favorite memories of being in school. Any favorite memories in-between classes?
Seth: You know it would probably have to be my first kiss, I would say. It was during school in between class with this girl that I was kind of dating in middle school, so it was like my first kiss. I remember that more than anything really.

TWIST: Was it by a locker, where did it happened?
Seth: It was in the middle of the hallway by my locker. I was standing at my locker. She came up to me. We were talking a little bit. It was at the end of the day. We were about to leave to go home, I gave her a hug and she ended up kissing me! So that was kind of cool!

TWIST: So what's been your most embarrassing moment so far?
Seth: Let's see, one year I was on a cruise with my family, and there was a mini game-show on the stage. I volunteered to go up there, and I wound up winning, but as I was bowing, I fell off the stage! Everybody saw me and was laughing. It hurt, it wasn't good, it was pretty embarrassing I have to say.

Gabriella Rodriguez
TWIST: How was filming season two of As the Bell Rings?
Gabriella: It was very exciting!

TWIST: What's going to happen this season?
Gabriella: Well, there's a new character named Lexi and we find out why ToeJam's name is ToeJam! Plus, Brooke enters a dance contest - there's a lot of competition, a lot of different challenges! It's different from the first season.

TWIST: Does Brooke become ToeJam's crush?
Gabriella: Not really, she's still kind of not really into him. Just into like the studying and getting good grades. She doesn't really pay attention to him.

TWIST: Do you relate a lot to Brooke?
Gabriella: In a way. We're both kind of shy and very studious.

TWIST: What's your style at school like?
Gabriella: Well, at my school, we don't have a dress code, so we can pretty much wear whatever we want and I love fashion. I love colorful outfits and very retro, vintage stuff.

TWIST: What's your favorite outfit that's hanging in your closet right now?
Gabriella: Hmm, that's a hard question! I have a very cute zebra shirt - it's pretty simple. It's pretty cool.

TWIST: What makeup product did you have trouble using for the first time?
Gabriella: Definitely putting on eyeliner. Yeah I have an older cousin that I look up to very much. I remember watching her put on makeup and wanting to do it just like her, but I couldn't do it the same! I would get so mad - I wanted to put on eyeliner just like she did, but I would never get it right.

TWIST: What do you do with your girlfriends for fun?
Gabriella: We definitely do movie nights. We hit up the mall, watch TV, have slumber parties - you know, typical teenage girl stuff!
