Squabbles over designer shoes, rude words, jumping on Jessica's head... being Ashlee Simpson is fun!

TOTP: When you were kids did you and Jessica get on well or did you fight like monkeys?
Ashlee: Yeah, we always got on well. The only little tiffs we would get into would be over me wearing her clothes and messing them up! That was really pretty much it. She would buy nice designer shoes and I would wear them and break the heel by accident, so... that was really it. We've always done makeup together and gotten ready together - and we still do, actually, so that's fun.

TOTP: Did you ever have any silly family rules that you had to stick to?
Ashlee: Oh, gosh - nothing too serious. We're both really close to our families so we never really had any like... our parents were pretty lenient with us. We weren't bad girls so they were kind of cool with us.

TOTP: Did you ever get grounded?
Ashlee: Once when I was 16 I had my car taken away from me for being past kerfew. Oh, and I said a bad word once, and I actually did get my mouth washed out with soap.
TOTP: Wow! Can you tell us what the word was?
Ashlee: It wasn't...it was just the 'b' word.
TOTP: I can't believe they washed your mouth out with soap!
Ashlee: I know - you sometimes hear about that, but it actually happened to me! Ha ha!

TOTP: What was the naughtiest thing that you did that you blamed Jessica for?
Ashlee: I never really blamed anything on her because she wouldn't take it on. She'd be like: 'I didn't do that!' and my parents would be like: 'We believe you. You did it, I know'.

TOTP: Did you ever fancy the same boy when you were younger?
Ashlee: No. Jessica and I have always gone for different types, so no...
TOTP: Did you ever think that Jessica's boyfriends weren't the right boyfriend for her?
Ashlee: Oh yeah! For sure. Definitely. I would definitely tell her that I didn't think so. And she would with me too. Usually we don't say: 'I don't like your boyfriend.' But we might say: 'Um, did you notice this about him?' Little things like that.

TOTP: Did your parents ever really embarrass you, like showing up at school in a really rubbish car?
Ashlee: Everybody in school thought my mum was cool - and my dad. My dad worked with all the youths so everyone thought they were cool. Oh gosh, other than my dad wearing Hammer pants back in the day.
TOTP: What, those massive wide-legged MC Hammer loon pants?
Ashlee: Yep, those. But I can't say I didn't own a pair, so I can't talk!

TOTP: My sister once attacked me with a piece of toast with marmalade as a weapon. What's the silliest thing you've ever attacked Jessica with?
Ashlee: Words. You know she wakes up early now, but when she was in high school she could not wake up early. I would always wake up and be like the annoying sister, shouting: 'Wake up! Wake up!'. I would usually get her shouting: 'Urghhh! Go Away! Leave me alone!' but not any more. She's an early bird now!
