VW Passat Anti Seize and Torque Wrench for Spark Plugs?

Hi everyone I bought four NGK V-Power BKR6E spark plugs. And today I'm looking at installing them. What I'm wondering is if I should buy some Anti Seize to put on the plugs before I put them in? Also would it be needed to buy a Torque Wrench inch pounds or foot pounds to tighten the spark plugs? Or just go finger tight with a 1/4 to 1/2 turn with a ratchet. Thanks for the help. My car is a 2003 VW Passat 1.8t GLS.
