INTERVIEW: Bill Doesn’t Like His Voice: BZ Interview

Bill did an interview with BZ in Berlin, Germany before the premiere of Arthur und die Minimoys 2. They ask Bill about a range of topics including his voice, girls, fans, Michael Jackson, Twilight, people who think he’s gay, and having guy fans. It’s a really interesting interview, even considering we’ve heard most of the answers before. Check it out below!

With heavy silver chains, leather gloves, black painted nails and a 40 cm long fauxhawk all eyes are immediately drawn to Bill Kaulitz (20)! In the interview the frontman of Tokio Hotel appears like an average and likable boy. Prima Donna behavior = zero! But the popstar still enjoyed his bath in the crowd on Sunday at the Potsdamer Platz. Occasion: The new Fantasy-Spectacle “Arthur 2″, in which Bill lent his voice – again – to the main character of the movie. Beforehand, Markus Tschiedert met him for an interview at the Ritz Carlton.

For the second time you lent your voice to the gnome Arthur. Do you like your speaking voice?
I don’t like to hear me talk at all, I don’t even watch my own interviews. However, I’m already used to my singing, and because of the Sound Technology you can also control it more. While speaking, one also says things without thinking about them.

This time, Arthur experiences his first love. How does it look for you?
I think it’ll never happen to me, and nothing changed regarding this topic. I hope I won’t be proved right with this, but at the moment it’s my realistic judgment. When I look back on the last five years, then there wasn’t a chance to fall in love. There are no dates and I can’t get to know somebody on a normal way. There simply is no interpersonal contact.

What would your “Dream-person” look like?
I can’t picture one! But I surely wouldn’t fasten that on something physical, like their hair color. But I believe in love at first sight, I would just know it when she would suddenly stand right in front of me. Sure, I had some girlfriends, but just ’til I turned 15. After that I didn’t, which is really not enough for a 20-year old.

Millions of girls are gushing over you. How can you handle the permanent screaming?
At live concerts you don’t even notice it, because you make the music yourself and the earphones in your ears are somewhat protecting them. On the red carpet it can’t even be loud enough for me.

Do Japanese girls scream differently than German girls?
Nope, at least I couldn’t hear a difference! Everywhere we go, the same energy meets us. It would be my nightmare, when the Fans would just applaud. I need this energy from all the fans, who let out all their emotions. It gives me a kick.

How do you manage to come down from the hysteria in your private life?
Well, there’s no thing like a private life for me anymore. I don’t have to delude myself. That’s why I don’t go out that often, and if I do, I always have Bodyguards accompanying me. Unfortunetly, I don’t have normal contact with people, I would rather say that I’m afraid of people.

So, you can’t just go out to get some buns…
I would love to! There are people who always get me everything, which was kind of cool in the first two years. But now I would like to decide myself, what I’ll fill my fridge with. In America I was once at the super market at 3 p.m, when it was empty. That was, when I noticed, what things there are that I can buy.

With which things is your fridge filled?
Since I’m at home very seldom , it’s just filled with standard things like bread and topping. I’m very uncomplicated when it comes to food, and I also don’t like 5-star-restaurant. I love to eat Pasta and Pizza. My freezer is bigger than my fridge, there’s where you find a lot of frozen-pizza, which I thaw and throw in the oven.

You’re always styled. Would the fans recognize you without make-up?
In any case! When I drive to the airport, I also dress differently – with a hat and a jogging suit. But my fans already recognize me on the tip of my nose.

How long does your styling take?
It’s already a routine: With showering and with all the bells and whistles, about a hour. I’m doing everything on my own, and I have a big problem with letting other people do these things. Sure, sometimes I make mistakes and when I see some pics from three years ago, I also think, how did you dress back then. But there is nothing which I am ashamed of, because that’s how I felt in those moments, and that’s okay.

Who is the most important person to you?
My family, which keeps me on the ground and without my twin brother Tom, I couldn’t survive a day. Even if we’re separated on a day like this, we call each other. Basically, I’m Tom, we both don’t feel complete without each other, we need each other.

People like to compare you with Michael Jackson. Are you afraid of ending up the same way?
His death was a blatant thing and I don’t even want to talk too much about it. Because I think it’s awful how his death is getting exploited. Michael Jackson also has the right to be left alone, and I want to contribute a little to this.

But like Jackson, you also chose a very androgynous appearance…
Yes, but that was an automatic development. I was already running around differently at school and started dying my hear at the age of eleven. Shortly after that I started to wear make-up and painting my nails. I also loved to watch vampire movies as a kid, that’s probably where I got my inspiration from.

When we’re already talking about Vampires: Robert Pattinson is a tough competition. Are you a fan of “Twilight”?
Absolutely! At the beginning I was skeptical, when everybody started telling me about the movie. But then I watched it and I liked it.

How do you deal with the fact that also guys think that you’re great, and that people often say that you’re gay?
That’s a thing, which is almost boring me! It happens automatically, with the way that the society is shaped – it’s obvious that there are rumors about it. And I think it’s absolutely okay that boys think that I’m great. Why not?
