“I am really shy!”
Bravo: How are you and what are you doing?
Gustav: It is going super! I only have blisters on my hands. We are just practicing so hard for the tour. But I am really looking forward to being on the road again. It is gonna be so cool!
Bravo: Be honest: what kind of type are you?
Gustav: I rather dont make judgement about myself. Others can do that way better.
Bravo: Has all the fame changed you?
Gustav: My parents know me already for a long time (laughs) ” they say, that I havent changed a bit.
Bravo: Is it important to you to stay true to yourself?
Gustav: Yes, It is very important to me to stay myself! It just would be insane if I want yellow flowers at my concert and if there are red ones Ill just cancel the whole show! I just dont understand that.
Bravo: Stars always have someone to do everything for them. Do you have that too?
Gustav: I rather do things myself. That way I am also in control (grins)! They dont have to crawl for me.
Bravo: Also you have many female fans lying at your feet. How do you deal with that?
Gustav: I am very happy with our fans! But going with the one after the other is just not my thing. I also never have done that.
Bravo: Bill hasnt been kissed in two years, when was your last time?
Gustav: (thinks) Boah, I really dont know that anymore!
Bravo: In August 2005 you had a girlfriend for a short while
Gustav: yes! Probably around that time yes. I am also really curious if I still kiss well? I have no idea. You have to keep practicing (laughs)!
Bravo: Do you flirt?
Gustav: On one hand I am really shy, but on the other hand I really would like to have a girlfriend again. But at the moment music is just more important. That is just number one. But when I meet the right person, then there will be also room for her in my heart!
Bravo: Comparing you to your band mates, you are really quiet in interviews
Gustav: I like to be in the background. That is just my thing. But when I have an opinion about something I will say it.
Bravo: What makes you different from the other Tokio Hotel boys?
Gustav: All the others have long hair. During the last tour mine was a little longer too. But it just was to much work for me. Besides, after a while they dont fit under a cap anymore (laughs)! What else makes us different? They others are bigger and sleep longer then me.
Bravo: At what time do you get up in the morning?
Gustav: It happens that I am already awake at 6.30 hour. Then I just tell myself to go to sleep again. When I stay in bed till 9.30 hour I get mad at myself. You just ruined your day by sleeping. The others on the other hand like to sleep to late in afternoon!
Bravo: What cant you stand?
Gustav: when someone talks to me like am 63 years old or something (laughs)!
Bravo: And what do you like?
Gustav: I love the first seconds of our concert, in that few seconds you find out how much energy the crowd has!
