INTERVIEW

Tom:

How is the Wilder family doing?

Alan:

Ahh... yeah they're doing alright. They're good.

Tom:

Paris is a young teenager already?

Alan:

Yeah, Paris she's so grown up - it's unbelievable, you know. She's kind of the same height as Hep and she looks like 15 year old where she's eleven. And Stan is kind of this big [show's height with his right hand] and full on [smiles], you know,
all the time - mad!

Tom:

I have a little son as well!

Alan:

Yeah? How old?

Tom:

He will be five on Friday.

Alan:

Oh, there you go - it's the same thing. You know what it's like [smiles]. Now I miss him [Stanley].

Tom:

I read in an old interview that Paris learns the piano? Does she have any ambitions to become a musician as well?

Alan:

She said recently she wants to act, she wants to be an actress. But she's quite along the piano, you know. It's the only thing I really insist that she does, you know. I mean we're very easy parents, you know - we're just "YEAH! - do what you want."
But one thing I want her to do is to play. Because to me they are obviously musical, you know? I can tell - they have it in them. So I want to encourage it, you know. And I was made to play the piano so they can be made to play the piano too [laughs].
