Exclusive interview: Bill: "I wanted to give up everything!" Bill had never been that thoughtful before! Only in BRAVO the Tokio Hotel-front man explains why he is so sad sometimes.
A record studio somewhere in Berlin-Schöneberg (GER). On the first floor stands Bill (20) with the 13 year old BRAVO reader Nora. She had won a small snchronisation role in "Arthur II" via BRAVO. The main character speaks Bill. The singer supports Nora right now, helps her with the recordings. Both are comfortbale to each other, Bill has a lot of fun, laughs all the time. But he shows a totally other side in the following BRAVO interview....
BRAVO: Bill, are you happy?
Bill: I'm totally happy with my career. Our new album "Humanoid" goes well. In most of the european countries it's even better in the charts than the last two albums!I wish it'd be like that in private. I don't know, what I need, to be satisfied - but I am unsatisfied.
BRAVO: Do you have a reason for this?
Bill: Maybe because I don't have time, to be happy about what I've reached. I can not be happy or celebrate our success. Because I always have to do something new. And there's still love missing. Sadly...
BRAVO: How could you find love?Could we help somehow?
Bill: I don't know it eigther. (sighs) There are a lot of people who try to find their love in reality shows. "Bill in love" wouldn't fit to me! To arrange feelings for a girl in front of a camera is not possible. That I get to know someone in private is improbable. I don't even get out of the house to shop.
BRAVO: Why don't you simply escape out of your world and go out without securiety?
Bill: To be honest I don't want to try that out, I'm also scared of doing it. Especially in europe it is hard for me to visit a club on my own. Even if bodyguards are with me I feel like being in a photo or signing session. Then I feel like an animal in a zoo. But that comes with being a celebrity. Maybe I get to know someone via my job - who knows? If love comes truely it happens by accident.
BRAVO: Are you satisfied with yourself then?
Bill: Sometimes I absolutely can not stand myself. Performance of myself, I don't watch them - on TV I hate myself! It also annoys me I always think about something! That I'm so nervous all the time and not relaxed.I always check if the door is locked twice. I almost check it ten times to be sure I hadn't forgot it. I guess I need to become more relaxed. That's it.
BRAVO: Are you afraid of the future?
Bill: Yes. Who knows what I'm doing in 5 or 10 years? My horror vision would be an office job! That's nothing for me. At school I had authority problems, too. I can not listen to someone else but me. I hope, I can always be my own boss.
BRAVO: Do you freak out sometimes - or are you always the "nice" guy?
Bill: I'm absolutely full of emotions, I often screamed at the others or team members, when something went wrong or didn't fit to me.
BRAVO: How do we have to imagine a "Tokio Hotel"-argument?
Bill: We've bet each other in the past. Nowadays it's more psychological pressure.
BRAVO: Seriously? How do we imagine that?
Bill: We don't talk to each other anymore. Or we cancel some dates because we know it: If I'm totally excited about the next photo-shooting and Tom's angry about me then he cancels the shooting secretly. But everything is fine the following day.
BRAVO: Did anyone say in an argument:"That's enough! I leave."?
Bill: No one said this loudly yet, but the thought of it surely had everyone. There also were moments I thought: "I don't do this anymore, I give up everything!"..and this thinking is still in my mind: "That I think, I just want to have time for me."
BRAVO: Could you explain some situations when you think like that?
Bill: When I don't know how to go on or if I don't have ideas anymore. Then there are days I only want to take my stuff - not to have anything to do with that band. But in the end I think of all the fans again, of the engery and fun they give us, the fun being front man of Tokio Hotel.

The other idea of German
German VOGUE article
Translated by Icey at LoveTH-Music.com
“Bill Kaulitz - The other idea of a German” - Karl Lagerfeld
Big Hair, Smokey Eyes, Sleek Chic – since Bill Kaulitz and his band Tokio Hotel had their first hit with “Durch den Monsun” in the summer of 2005, the 20-year-old singer with the unusual styling became a superstar. And a fashion icon.
He designed his favorite stage costumes himself. Even if he couldn’t draw well, his tailor knew what he meant. “Actually, I would like to wear outfits like these every time.”
And: “Without makeup, I feel dressed up.” His favorites: David Bowie in “Labyrinth”, Nena, Vampires, Paris, Secondhand Shops, striking jewelry and Dior Homme. He owns pants of the label in countless variations, also because they fit him perfectly.
“Otherwise there are hardly any clothes that don’t need to be changed for me.” Custom-made clothes are like a tradition in the Kaulitz-House: Bill’s mother is a seamstress and tailor. Already when he was a student, she sewed from several T-Shirts an unique one.
Recently, he collects braces, and Bill Kaulitz is also “totally crazy about jackets” – especially leather jackets. Hundreds of them are hanging in his closet – most of them in black. Too many to keep track of? “No, I could tell you a story to each jacket.”

We hope to sell 100 Million Albums!
French interview from ozap.com
Translation by bertrann92 from THA
Tokio Hotel: "We hope to sell 100 million albums!"
How many times have you come to France before this visit?
Bill: Uh ... twenty times at least!
And how many French artists you know?
Georg: Is it necessary to name them ? (laughter)
Maybe one or two ...
Georg: Well ... Gérard Depardieu ... Carla Bruni ... Justice!
OK ... then three! You may know that Carla Bruni is very sought after right now, would you consider a duet with her?
Bill: To be very honest ... we never heard her music! We only found out that she sang yesterday!
How many French fans have shouted your name?
Georg: It's gonna be a lot!
Tom: How many people live in France? (laughter)
Approximately 60 million ...
Georg: Well at least 60 million! (laughter)
Tom: No, to be honest, I doubt there has been !
It's been several years now that those millions of fans scream when they see you. Do you sometines think that these reactions are a little hysterical?
Tom: So far, zero times.
Bill: Not at all, rather the opposite!
Tom: From time to time, rumors say we are irritated because people scream incessantly. But I think that the screams are what's best for a group, and for us it is never too much.
It is we who have paid the video for "Automatic"
How many songs have you recorded this new album?
Bill: On the normal version of the album there are twelve songs, and there are sixteen of the collector version, but there has been much, much more!
And how these song represent an evolution from your previous albums
Bill: Actually, it's hard to truely describe this evolution. For us, it was a normal evolution, not something planned ... One does not say "bah right now, we will change things." In fact,since we had not not written in a long ago, we first asked what we wanted to write, so we tried many things with instruments, and that's how the new album was born.
How was the process of translating songs in to English?
Bill: We worked with four producers in the new album, because even if one speaks English well enough, we still need a little help. They, of course, speak fluent English.
Tom: And it's easier for us to write English than to speak it - in an interview for example (laughs).
Do you know how much it cost your clip for new single "Automatic"?
Tom: Yes (laughs). We were the ones who payed for it !
You pay your clips?
Bill: Yes, we invest in ourselves. Record companies have almost no money, and if you really want to have a nice clip, I think it is essential to invest.
Tom: I think it cost so much that we will not get a penny after working for six months.
Bill: I think we could easily buy two beautiful Ferrari with the price of this clip!
[we hate the paparazzi ]<-- random
Exactly, if there is less money in the safes of the labels is partly because of illegal downloading. You have young fans, and a certain number of them probably practice piracy. How do you react to that?
Bill: I hope they do no pirate our work!
Tom: Anyway, no one can escape the illegal downloading. It concerns the world of music entirely, and I think not one artist is immune to it. On the other hand, I think our fans love having the real CD, and when they find us they show us that they have bought our CD's.
How many times have you been asked if you were single?
Tom: In total? Not so often ...
Bill: If we weren't it would make world news { not sure if thisis right)
Gustav: Almost as many times as we asked where our name come from
Georg: At least a five-digit number, I think!
Do you feel the pressure from the press, with all these questions about your private life?
Bill: Yes! It hate the paparazzi! There are not any tricks in where on can loose a habit and truly there are times when one feels one's going to snap ... If we do whatever we want, but they can always find us.
Why not take our audience seriously?!
How many people attended your concerts in total?
Tom: Are you also counting the concert in Paris under the Eiffel Tower?
No, it's cheating that there were many other artists!
Gustav: 10 000 per concert venue in tours ...
Tom: So 400 000 per tour, and other concerts ...
Bill: There were three tours, so it must be total ... in 1.5 million?
And among these 1.5 million viewers, how many were girls?
Tom: I would say ... between 60 and 70%.
Do you not get the impression that this public very young and filled of very young women has prevent you from being taken seriously as a musician?
Bill: But why one does not take young girls seriously?
It is often said, for good or for bad, that young girls are more susceptible to trends ...
Tom: He must still say that our fans are very loyal, so I do not know if we can talk about trends. And then I think that we should not generalize. The image people have of our fans is a bit distorted, they think that they go for boy bands and that they range in the ages of 10-15, these fans are actually a little less faithful.
How many albums have you sold ?
Bill: Five million media, but I do not know how many CDs from this figure.
Some artists know what kind of numbers by heart: the number of sales positions in the charts ... Are these things that do not interest you?
Tom: No, actually, it does not really interest us ...
So if I ask how many CD's you hope to sell for your new album, then you say ...
Tom: 100 million! (laughter)
We will not cancel the concert due to swine flu!
A final question that has nothing to do with numbers ... Are you scared of swine flu?
Tom: (laughs) Georg scares us every day with that
Gustav: Now I'm more afraid of Georg than of swine flu! (laughter)
Bill: Georg told us not to be vaccinated because the vaccine has not been tested ... It's just the vaccine from a pharmaceutical company!
A great French artist, that you may know, Johnny Hallyday, recently had to cancel a concert in the meeting due to swine flu. ..
Tom: Yes, we know him, he was in Star Academy with us.
Are you afraid of finding yourself in his situation and having to cancel some concerts?
Bill: Canceling a concert? No! We take planes every day, we are with fans all day, so I do not see why we would cancel a concert ... It is difficult to be protected, so if one is going to be sick it is inevitable.
Georg: Yes, but in large spaces such as a concert hall, the risk of contamination is higher ... So it's more dangerous for the fans!
Tom: Very good point, George

Tom & Bill have a Roller Coaster Party
Tom & Bill – Rollercoaster PartyWhat a cool Birthday pary! To celebrate their 20th birthday on Septermber 1st the Tokio Hotel Twins Bill and Tom rented out the whole Heide Park Soltau – only for themselves and their 20 closest friends and relatives. Absolute madness!
Bill: “With this day, we fullfilled our childhood dream. It was so incredibly wicked. We stayed in the park until late in the evening.” And the guys tried everything out. Loops with the roller coaster, wildwater rafting and the Free Fall Tower – again and again all day long. “We tried everything out, that revolves somehow.”
Funny: To prevent the Kaulitz-hairstyles from getting destroyed and to make sure that their clothes stayed nice and dry, Bill and Tom put some rain capes on for protection. At the end of the crazy party the identical Twins stumbled – completely shaken, but happy – out of the amusement park with their guests. Bravo says: Happy Birthday!

Bill & his Dogs
LoveTH-Music.com has translated the article in the new Bravo, no scans yet:
Tokio Hotel – Exclusive in Bravo: Bill shows his cuddly friend!
Tokio-Hotel-Rocker Bill Kaulitz lost his heart – to a dog! Bravo shows you the sweet Pictures!
Those are the cutest pictures of the week. Tokio Hotel star Bill Kaulitz (20), like we have never seen him before. He sits in the Tourbus with his best friend. They travel together through Europe – they like to cuddle. It’s not a human – but a dog. BRAVO shows you the exclusive snapshots of the German world stars.
“It’s a little dachshund girl. Totally dear, sweet, and cuddly.” Bill told us, with a radiant smile on his face, in the Bravo Interwiev. “She is a little bit spoiled. But that’s a good thing. I would do anything for my dogs. I love them madly!” The Tokio Hotel-Star doesn’t want to give away the name of the Lady-Dog. He’s afraid that when a lot of people call out her name that the dog might be upset by it. By the way, Bill rescued the sweet dachshund girl from the shelter.
This proves that Bill has an XXL heart! And the fact, that the dachshund feels great with Bill on it’s side, is hard to miss. The little dog is even a Super-Fan of Tokio Hotel. “She loves our music.” the singer laughs, “Well, ‘Durch den Monsun’ she now hear a little bit too often. But when she ‘Humanoid’, she always starts wagging with her tail.”
At home in Hamburg, Bill and his twin brother Tom (20) have 3 more sweet barking dogs: another Dachshund, a Doberman-Labrador mongrel and a German Shorthair. AND: All of the 4 dogs sleep with Bill in his bed. “I could never give up my dogs,” the Tokio Hotel frontman makes clear.
“I don’t care about the fact that a dogs place is not in a bed – the closer they are to me, the more beautiful it is. I can just give everyone the advice: Take your dogs into your bed. They often wake me up in the morning by nudging their nose into my face.” he says. “It’s nice to see how they enjoy some of the simplest things.”
Will more dogs follow? “The 4 dogs are, probably, enough for now. But who knows, maby someday we’ll have 10 animals…”

They often wake me up in the morning by nudging their nose into my face.” he says. “It’s nice to see how they enjoy some of the simplest things.”
Will more dogs follow? “The 4 dogs are, probably, enough for now. But who knows, maby someday we’ll have 10 animals…”

German Tokio Hotel draws attention to themselves wherever they go. For better or worse, according to the members. "We have not had any privacy since we were 15," lead vocalist Bill Kaulitz says. With six million sold CDs, Tokio Hotel is one of the biggest pop groups in the world. And when they visited Stockholm on Tuesday to promote the new album hundreds of teenage girls waited outside the hotel.
"Our fans are the best you can imagine, they are intense but supportive. After working hard, it feels great to come back and be received like this, "s Bill Kaulitz says.
But attention comes with a price, and the 20-year-old members have previously followed by too close for comfort fans. Last spring the band's fanclub joined in an action against the stalkers.
"They are sick people, people who need help. Of course it is very scary, but if you're famous it is more less inevitable" Bill Kaulitz says.
He speaks for all members in saying that Tokio Hotel loves to tour, but admits at the same time that the group, which has existed since the early teens, soemtimes dreams abouit a totally different life.
"There will be days when you wish you lived a normal life, that you could go out and meet friends, go to the movies or go shopping. There is nowhere where we can hide to have privacy. But you get used to it."
And good is that., because in the nearest future the pressure on the four teenage idols will not get any less. In less than one month they will release their third album in a German and in an English version. A couple of the songs unfortunately leaked online last summer.
"It was the worst thing that could have happen to us, you feel so attacked as an artist. they weren't even finished versions. those thinsg cannot go unpunished " Bill Kaulitz says.
Exactly when Tokio Hotel come to Sweden for a concert is not determined, but a tour is planned for early 2010. The singer, whose vocal cord problems caused them to cancel the Europeean tour and the Stockholm concert in 200, is now fully recovered.
"It is hard to know when to pull the emergency brake, when you've been working too much. It took a long time to process, so I'm more cautious now, "he says.
