Interview with Bill and Tom on MNMbe
Belgium radio station.

MNMbe Radio

Annelies: The brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz
Peter: They were sociable?
Annelies: Yes they were sociable. Even on the background you could hear the other members of the band, they were also present
they were heard on the background it was really sociable.
Peter: Yes okay, thank you Annelies
Annelies: I asked them first about 2009, How was it for you and a new album, yeah how was that for you. Did it always go very well and mostly what was your absolute top moment?
 
Bill: yeah the top moment was definitely the release of our album, because we worked really long on the album and we didn’t really know how the people will react to the album.
 
Annelies: Translates in dutch what Bill said. And then he also said that the most exciting moment now is the tour.
Peter: They’ll be in Belgium on 25 February in Forest National in Brussels
Annelies: Yeah, I expect lots of screaming girls then. But then I also asked them about the English/German combination, the songs they have
Peter: yes, we play ‘Lass uns laufen’ for example, and then you have ‘World behind my wall’ and that’s the same song then in English
Annelies:Yes that means a big breakthrough, in South-America for example that they have English songs, And then I wondered is that different that you sing songs English German? Do they write that differently? How does that go?
 
Bill: Yes we did really write in 2 languages, that writing is differently very different you get a totally new song then even if we sing it. And we don’t know what we prefer to do.
 
Annelies: Translates in dutch. And then I asked about maybe some co-operation with other artists. Because most fans will know that they’re fans off Aerosmith. But there aren’t any plans yet. But then I thought Tom, Bill’s brother, he is a hip-hop fan. You know maybe there are plans to go to a hip hop co-operation or maybe an other artist, anyway listen to what they say to that
 
Tom: That is really difficult, whether it’s a hip hop artist or another one, it’s not easy to find on artist which you can really get along with. And TH is a band that makes music together and we’ve known each other for a very long time, and that is really necessary you really need to share something together to be able to make music together.
 
Peter: What’s really interesting when you say there’s a TH interview coming is that you have TH lovers and people who don’t like them that much, the haters you can say. did you ask something about that too?
Annelies: Yes, of course I had no other choice. How bad do they think it is, do they laugh with it.
 
Bill: it is really terrible that you have people that really hate you, but it better that then that they think ‘Scheiss egal’
 
Annelies: Yes Scheiss egal, Bill actually says that it isn’t that bad, because it doesn’t work without them, if people wouldn’t care, TH wouldn’t be able to exist. So actually they think it’s good.Now it’s TH love groups and hate groups. He says we love our fans very much and actually our haters too, they also make a part of what we are.
Peter: Yes. I can hope you also said something about his hair?
Don’t disappoint me.
Annelies: Yes exactly, I asked something about that too. I thought now were gonna now,so I suggest we listen to Bill
 
Bill: It really doesn’t take that long, it’s a routine. With showering it only takes about one hour.
 
Annelies: Translates. So actually it’s not that bad. And after that I also asked Tom, his brother, he got those pretty braids in his hair done by a hairdresser, Bill doesn’t have one, Tom does.
Peter: Some will say, you can tell that.
Annelies: I know, it could be.
Peter: It was a good talk.
Annelies: it was very good, yes
Peter: Joked with Tokio Hotel, anyway the complete interview will be on the MNM site in a while and it’s about 10 minutes
Annelies: 10 minutes, yes
Peter: Yes something like that, later on MNM.be. Anyway for all TH haters it’s over! and for all the others check the site.
And now will play their song cause they’re in the list too on place 38.

VIP Interview

First of all I’d like to congratulate you on your MTV EMA that you won with Tokio Hotel this year. How hard was it to get this far?
 
“Well, I believe it was definitely harder than people might realise. I think, to many it was just erm… everything about our career went pretty fast. However, if you’re the one doing it all, you actually know that there’s definitely much more work behind it than some people might believe and, and that success is definitely not something that just happens to you at all. Well… I’m also not somebody that rests on it. Meaning, I could never sit down and really relax and say `Hey, the first three years went so well, you can be on holiday for a year now. That’s not what I’m like at all. I’m more someone that already thinks about what’s next and really keeps going and, and who is quite ambitious. Therefore, it was already… It is… There are always obstacles being put in one’s way. Every day. By lots of people everywhere.”
 
I think you’ve got a pretty great dubbing voice. How much speech coaching was needed in advance or did you even get speech coaching?
 
“I’ve had basically kind of a coach at, at the recording studio. Meaning there’s erm,… there were a few people that have been doing it professionally for years already. However, I’ve relatively… Well, I didn’t practise anything in advance. While dubbing it somehow really was more like us… that I received some advise and so on then. And there wasn’t necessarily any coaching needed. Well, I’m also.  Yes, I’ve also been kind of rather doubtful, right? Meaning, I think, erm, also of course by no means am I as good as to how professional people are doing it, but I’ve got to say the second part was a bit easier for me than the first one.”
 
And how was that? Do you have an explanation for that?
 
“I think one just gathered a bit of experience, yes? Meaning that there have always been things when I remembered what it was like in the first part and what you’ve got to pay attention to. Therefore the second part was a bit easier.”
 
Last year you’ve had to have vocal chord surgery. Has your voice completely recovered again now or do you still have problems when you’re talking for such a long time, being in a studio all day long?
 
“Nope, well actually I’ve never had any problems after that again. Meaning it’s really like that one has to bide the healing process of course and everything is like before when this is over and done with. Erm, however, one is just never, erm, safe from it. Meaning, it can always just happen again. That means even if my voice is great now, it’s still possible that this happens again of course. Like a singer or also as a presenter or everybody who works with their voice a lot, somehow all have to deal with it a lot of course and are also prone to it. So therefore erm… (reaching to side) Where is there any wood? (looking around to find something wooden to knock on but not finding anything) Unfortunately there isn’t any wood but hopefully it won’t happen again.”
 
Could you imagine to also be standing in front of a camera once? For a cinema production?
 
“I could imagine it. Definitely. Well, I think it’s just a matter of the part. If it’s the right part and erm, like the right people, then I’d do it, yes. Definitely.”
 
Well, I’m thinking that you have got all kinds of resemblance with the animated character “Arthur”.
Ok. Have you also discovered any similarities?
 
“Yes, definitely! Like, when I was watching it or when I saw the character for the first time, I was immediately, … Yes, I somehow totally fell in love with the whole film and it really was like I was definitely thinking `Ok, if anybody is able to dub this character, then it’s me somehow.  It just goes really well. So therefore, there really are associations.”
 
Yes. Female fans are constantly going crazy when you turn up somewhere.
Do they even still stand a chance with you or is there already someone by your side?
 
“Unfortunately there is nobody by my side, no. Well, there hasn’t been for the past five years unfortunately. I think that really is the only thing that really… Well yes, that also has never been a big deal somehow. I’d also really like to tell something different for once. Meaning, for once I’d also like to say that it would be different. Unfortunately it hasn’t happened to me. I haven’t fallen in love.”
 
Do you have a certain type of woman or aren’t you specific about it?
 
“Well, I actually really believe in love at first sight. Meaning I still believe that it’s really like that, if you see the right one and then you just immediately know it and… It just hasn’t happened to me yet. Well, I think the hair colour or something like that wouldn’t be crucial in that case.”
 
You’re so super slim, how do you keep fit? Do you somehow have some sports routine that you’re doing or…?
 
“Unfortunately I’m not doing any sports at all. Well, now I’ve absolutely got to. Actually I’m always intending to go on the treadmill prior to every tour. Just for stamina’s sake, yes? And now, we’re, erm, are somehow playing quite a big tour again next year. And erm, everything will be quite elaborate. We’ve got a big production with a huge stage and that’ll involve quite a bit of execise. Therefore I’m intending to go on the treadmill again. Just to get in better shape and to really make it through and not somehow be lying in the corner after the first song already. But otherwise I’m not doing any sports. I don’t play football, I don’t work out anywhere or I’m not running. I really sit on the sofa at home and… (shrugging) … watch TV. Probably good genes.Yes.”
 
How long do you take for your styling in the mornings when you’re standing in front of the mirror?
After all it always looks quite time-consuming with you.
 
“Well, actually it’s a total routine for me. Like… By now it really doesn’t take long at all. Well, actually with showering and getting up in the morning and waking up it all adds up to an hour maybe.”
 
Do you have a styling role model?
 
“I’ve never really had that. I think, certainly one always gets a bit influenced by all the things happening around us. However, it’s never actually been a case of me having just like one, erm, person, no. There have just always been like different bands, musicians and people that I liked but I’ve never really had one role model in particular.”
 
It’s Christmas in a month’s time already. How are you going to spend the Christmas holiday this year?
 
“I’m hoping just like the past years. Well, actually it has always been important to me that I’m really together with my family and it… I always hope that there’ll also be good food and I’m actually rather loving this whole Christmas, Christmas time. The thing is that I’ve been a vegetarian for one and a half years now and therefore the duck has been called off again this year. Erm, otherwise I used to love this. Like, duck and red cabbage and potatoes and things like that. That’s actually like the best about Christmas. Meaning, good food, be together with your family and to just spend a relaxing time.”
 
Why did you decide to live vegetarian?
 
“With me it totally was just out of love of animals. Well, Tom and I, we’ve got four dogs at home that also somehow all of them… We’ve rescued all of them from, erm… from an animal shelter and so on. And yes, for me it just was love of animals eventually. I thought `Ok, if there’s another way and everybody has got the possibility to do this nowadays, then one just does it.  Although one has got to say that really all those substitute products, erm, they’re just… they really just don’t taste that great. Meaning, I know where people that like to eat meat are coming from. I was an absolute fan of fast food and really loved to eat meat. So for me it really wasn’t a matter of taste but really only just… love of animals.”

I Love YouI Love You

Vocalist of German band Tokio Hotel, Bill Kaulitz’s dream of every girl: he is not like everyone else, he is talented and lonely. In “I love you” Bill is talking about real love, consequences of being famous and changes in his life.
 
About sweet dreams
 
I think that all members of band would be sleeping all the time and being just lazy, but we just don’t have an opportunity to do that.
I am night person and I am fine with it. I go to bed around 4 a.m. and I would gladly wake up around 2 P.M. But I rarely have enough sleep. Often I have to forget that I love to sleep on comfortable mattresses with soft blankets, and just take a nap anywhere I can at the free time available. So, don’t be surprised if one day I will fall asleep at some event or a show – it can easily happened.
 
About hair
 
Since childhood I paid attention to what I wear. It’s possible that there were days back then when I looked ridiculous, but at that time I liked it, so it’s OK. You don’t need to be ashamed of your past. Right now I’ve found my own style, but it doesn’t matter that I won’t change it for the rest of my life. Everyone was so surprised when I change my hairstyle. Believe me; my desire to change it surprised me myself. I just changed my hair and don’t regret it at all. You can’t always be the same. On Humanoid there is a new sound and on my head I have an excellent Mohawk. You have to rejoice the changes but not to be afraid of them.
 
About family
 
I am very lucky that I have my family. Mom always supported us and stepfather helped to find our true calling. After we left the house I was calling them 5 times a day to just be able to hear their voices. But loneliness is not really scary for me because I always have my brother Tom with me. No, honestly, I think even when we will be grown up men we will buy a huge house and will still live together. Tom is my closest friend; I can sense what’s happening in his soul.
 
About sex
 
Those who think that I am gay are just very limited people, who think stereotypes. Yes, there is that notion in the world: Gay should look like that… But how can you say that I am gay, just because I care what I look like and that I look different. I am tired to deny this rumor and try to explain myself. Let people think what they want to think. It’s their rights. And the fact that I did not have a girlfriend for a long time is definitely not the reason to say that I am gay. It is just the sex without love is nothing to me. And I think it pretty normal.
 
About food
 
I can eat everything I want, because I don’t gain weight. Some people even think that I have anorexia. But if they would come with me to dinner sometimes they would absolutely change their mind. (laugh). I can eat two pizzas and finish everything with Coca-cola. And I also can not live without coffee.
 
About girls
 
I am sure I will know immediately that she is the One if I’ll meet her. Someone probably will think that I am insane or a stupid romantic, but it’s not that – I really believe in love with first sight and forever. But for now relationship is not possible. Firstly, there is no change that I will meet a girl, since I am always with huge bodyguards. And even though they are pretty good guys, it would spoil the intimate moment. Second, I am not ready to meet a girl who already has some kind of opinion of me without knowing me personally, that is why relationship with a fan is impossible. But even those who are not into our music still will see me through the prism of articles in newspapers and rumors. There is one other moment against serious relationship. If I ever fall in love I will want to spend all my time with her, but it means to forget about music and career. That is why I am still single. And I don’t see problem with it. I learned to find a pleasure in other different things.
 
About a fame
 
My dream came true, I became super popular. But it has its minuses. Sometimes you don’t want to rely on the help of other people but go and buy something in the store yourself for example. But in reality my personal assistant is doing it for me. Fame gives you a freedom but the same time it is taking freedom away. It is very complicated thing. But I wouldn’t change anything. I wouldn’t want to live differently.
