When I film my music videos, I always try to fulfill a part of my dream of being a filmmaker.

We came from a small village and there is no music business there.

Somehow, German just vanished at some point. We already started at an early stage to translate our albums, and at some point, we started to write only in English.

For me, it was pretty hard to go into the studio and sing English for the first time, because I always sung in German, and we've been making music for seven years and it's always been in German.

I always longed to have someone who would just be there for me. Of course I have Tom. I'm extremely happy that we're brothers. I wouldn't be able to work as a solo artist.

You don't want other people to tell you what to do your whole life. And if you feel like shaving your hair off, then you just do it.

It's kind of a dream to play a vampire in a movie.

I've had cysts on my vocal chords.

In the beginning, for the first English record it was really hard for me because I'm a perfectionist and I really wanted it to sound natural and not like a German who tries to sing in English.

I'm sometimes a little bit paranoid.

In America, we see a fan and it is like, 'Oh, we are proud! We have a fan in America!'

In Europe we play big concerts, but in America it's so cool to see all the people - and all the girls.

I find it hard to write really cool texts in German. At some point I had the feeling that it didn't work for me any more. So I'd rather not write any German songs at all than write uncool ones.

We wanted to be successful, we wanted to shoot a video. We just wrote a song and we were like, 'OK, let's go onstage! Let's shoot a video for it!' That was always our dream... We just wanted to have fans and a crowd who would listen.

Well, I think when one has got beliefs and expresses and communicates them then one also radiates some kind of freedom that some people might not dare having.

We want to be successful everywhere. But if not, at least we can go on vacation to London.

When we first came out with our music, the gay question was always there and it was super important for everyone. But for me it was amusing.

I think the third record is the hardest one.

I think it's really hard for me... to sing in English, because it's not my mother tongue.

Especially as newcomers, it's really important to have the Internet, where people can talk about you and listen to your music.
