Tokio Hotel interview in Spain

20minutos.es: The motive of Rock in Rio was “for a better World,” on your part, what do you do to make the World better?

Bill: That is a rather difficult issue, because there are many things that can be done in order to change the world. A festival like this is already a big step.

What do you think about your Spanish fans?

Bill: They have delighted us! The concert in Barcelona on Friday was super, and we found out that there were already fans waiting for us in Madrid since a few hours already…it was hallucinating, this is such a great return.

When you take a look at the speed at which everything is turning out for you, doesn’t it make you a little dizzy?

Bill: There have been some marking moments in our career in which we have had lots of luck. But it’s true that we need some time to “digest” everything that has happened…for example, performing here is already something very special for us.

Do you dress like this every day?

Tom: No, we would like to, but we can’t…we went to high school like this, but today it would be too stressing to go out in the road, we prefer to go unnoticed.

How do you feel since your operation?

Bill: Now everything is how it was before and I’m very happy. That was the purpose of the operation. It was a very hard time for our career, and on a personal level, I was very affected. We were so sorry for the fans because we had to cancel concerts. For a singer, a vocal chord operation is very frightening.

How is life, having to travel constantly?

Bill: You can define it as an obligation we owe to our work, we have been doing that for 3 years, nonstop. We take holidays once a year, for 15 days, but this is what we wanted, and it makes us happy.

Tom: We set aside our own dates and places, and what we’ll do. There are moments when you feel like you can’t go on anymore, and you don’t even know which city you’re in, but that’s what makes us what we are.

You have success, money, girls…what are you missing?

Bill: *laughs* In all that you just mentioned, we are missing some…People overestimate us, they think we’re multi-millionaires, and yet we are all single. But we continue to live our dream. Once you’ve tasted success, it becomes like a drug, you always want more, and we’re all very self-demanding.

Are you aware that all this may one day disappear?

Bill: Sure, yes. When we first started, we were nobodies. There were only like 5 people in the room listening to us, and in consequence, we appreciate everything and we’re very aware of it all. We hope it will last, because everything can change, but that also is very motivating for us.

An idea of the results of the Final for the European football cup?

Gustav: 3 to 2 for Germany… (Aw! I wish…)

Bill: We aren’t really into football, but we’re for Germany, and even if we won’t be able to watch the match, we will be performing in Lisbon…all those who don’t like football will come and see us.
