Tokio Hotel WW6 (Bravo Interview with Bill and Tom)

Bravo : What about your brother makes you happy, Bill ?

Bill : I admire that he is such a good guitarist because he worked a lot on it. And also because he is the kind of brother that the whole world would want. I can count 100% on him. My confidence in him has no limit.

Bravo : Same question, Tom.

Tom : Bill is more straight-forward than myself, and I admire the way he handles things. He doesn’t let himself just go, and he continues to stay himself. Bill is born to be a leader. And I can’t say otherwise.

Bravo : Do you worry about him (about Bill)?

Tom : Yes, because he is very fragile, and I think all singers are in a certain way. They have to be careful. I’m worried if he can’t take a long video tournage. That’s why I take care of him and bring him tea.

Bravo : You take care of each other when your parents aren’t there ?

Tom : Yes, I always tell Bill during a video tournage, « Take a sweater before you catch a cold. »

Bill : The singer is always the « Pussy ». The others can stay on scene if they’re cold, but not me. That’s why they all take care of me. But when Tom is sick, I take care of him too.

Bravo : Tom always has a calm air about himself, does it every happen that he’s emotional ?

Bill : Tom has a big heart. He can be in love, sensitive, and sad just like me. We are very alike in those aspects. He just doesn’t show it like I do. He lets it out only at home.

Tom : The two times that I cried in my life, Bill was there.

Bravo : Do you tell each other at what point you appreciate each other, both of you ?

Bill : Of course, we say it and hug. But to be honest, we don’t need to do this. We know what we mean to each other.

Bravo : What would you do for the other?

Bill: Everything. Absolutely everything. We even want to die for each other.

Bravo : A bonus title of your new single is called « In die Nacht ». In this song you talk about wanting to live together.

Bill : It’s true. We absolutely had to make a song about our ‘connection’. We even want to die together. Just the idea that one of us dies is unimaginable for us. We can’t imagine living with out each other.

Tom : It’s such a horrible thought that one of us dies and leaves the other behind.

Bill : I don’t want to think about it. But if one of us has to go, we’ll go together.

Bravo : What would happen if something happened between you two ?

Bill : I imagine this situation : We would hold each other at the edge of a cliff, and we ask each other to jump and to disappear forever. We both jump. 100%.

Bravo : In « Spring nicht », Bill talks about a person who doesn’t want to live anymore. Tom, what would you do if Bill really thought about it ?

Bill : If one of us doesn’t want to live anymore, the other will not want to either.

Tom : If something goes wrong with Bill, it’s wrong with me too. But of course I would do everything to save him. If someone can do that. So it would be me.

Bill : One time I went to the hospital. When I woke up, Tom was there. He stayed there all day next to my bed, till he fell asleep. I just wanted to see my brother. No one else can help me in such a situation.

Bravo : Do you want to live with each other?

Bill : Yes, we can’t imagine it being otherwise. Maybe we’ll live next to each other, like two houses connected by a door.

Bravo : Are you jealous when the other has a girlfriend ?

Bill : Absolutely not. We are happy for each other. If a girl becomes important for Tom, I will accept it no matter what.

Tom : A relationship with a girl is so much different than ours (Bill and I). I cannot imagine confiding in a girl like how I do to Bill. And I would not want to spend less time with Bill because I have a girlfriend. She would just have to accept it.

Bravo: And what if a girl said « It’s your brother or me ! »?

Bill : If she has something against my brother, I would not like her. I don’t let people get in between us.

Bravo : Can you love someone as much ?

Bill : Our parents, of course. But the relationship that WE have is something special. We know each other since we were in our mom’s stomach. We could not be more close to someone else ever since that moment.
