Gala.de Interview

Bill Kaulitz: “I’m not the One-Night-Stand-Type of guy”
On the occasion of the movie “Arthur und die Minimoys 2″,
in which Bill Kaulitz lent his voice to the main character of the
movie, Gala met up with the Tokio-Hotel-Singer and talked with him
about Girls, Rumours and his cooking skills.

For the german version of the film, Bill Kaulitz lent his voice again
to the main character of the movie “Arthur und die Minimoys 2
– Die Rache des Bösen M”. Gala met up with the Tokio
Hotel Singer for an interview.

In “Arthur 2″, the new animated movie by Luc Besson, you
lent the little hero your voice for the second time. Is it difficult
for you to indentify with a Fantasy-Figure?
It is a challenge to empathize into a fantasy world and to put all your
emotions into an animated figure. The most difficult part is, when you
have to laugh or cry on command. And this several times in a row. But
in the end everything went well.

Could you imagine to stand in front of the camera for an upcoming film?
Actually, I always had the opinion that a singer should sing and that
an actor should act. But to be honest, lately I thought more and more
about trying it out. Whereas I don’t even know if I have enough
talent for it. It should therefore be a small role.

Would you rather play the bad guy or the superhero?
Definitely the bad guy. Preferably a vampire or a junkie – yes, these would be my absolute dream roles.

The next “Twilight”-Book will be made into a movie soon
– how about playing an evil vampire on the side of Robert
Pattinson?
I would immediately say yes to a role in “Twilight”.

In “Arthur 2″ the heart of the little hero beats for
princess Selena. Your heart however is still looking for love…
I would love to fall in love, but everything fails because of the life
I currently lead. With “Tokio Hotel” we spend about two
days in a city, then we already fly to the next one. But trust is very
important for me in a relationship. I’m very skeptical and I
don’t let a lot of people get close to me. Sure, it would be
possible for me to take a girl up to my room every night, but I never
did that. I’m not the One-Night-Stand type of guy. That’s
just not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for somebody who
really means something to me.

What should a woman have to arouse your interest?
She would have to radiate the joy of life, be spontaneous and
self-confident. Furthermore she should be able to stand on her own feet
and she shouldn’t make her live dependent on mine.

Your career with “Tokio Hotel” seems like a fairytale.
You’ve become world stars in the last 5 years. Do you sometimes
wish to be the normal Bill Kaulitz, that you’ve been before?
Absolutely. On some days I wake up and think: Oh god, that’s so
overwhelming, I don’t want to do a thing today. Of course
there’s a lot of pressure that weighs on us and I pressure myself
the most. My brother, Tom, and I are control freaks. It’s
incredibly difficult for us, to let other people decide things.
There’s nothing that can be decided without us looking over it
– and sometimes it’s just too much. But that’s just
the problem of authority I happen to have, and it probably won’t
change.

How do you manage to relax, to gain new energy?
The only thing that can distract me is the time that I spend with my
family, old friends from school and with my dogs. Just in this little
circle of people that are close to me, which already knew me before the
whole career with “Tokio Hotel” started, I can relax. I
trust them 100%. These friendships are very intense and therefore also
very important to me.

But you can no longer go to the disco with your old friends from school…
No, I can’t lead a normal life anymore – and I won’t
be able to do that ever again. I don’t need to fool myself. When
I go out, Bodyguards are always accompanying me and one is also
standing in front of my door. Success is a curse and a blessing at the
same time. I can’t live with it, but I also can’t live
without it. I need it: the stage, the shows, the spotlight. It gives me
a lot of strenght, and I feel myself called upon it – I would
like that to last a lifetime. But there are also days, where I would
love to be a normal guy.

What would you do on such a day?
A party-vacation with a lot of friends in a two-star hotel on Mallorca
or Ibiza. A real chav-vacation, where you start drinking Sangria on the
plane.

There is a rumor which states that you’re very stressed and that you’re struggling with a eating disorder …
There are in total 3 rumours which return every year: Bill Kaulitz is
anorexic. Bill Kaulitz is gay. Bill Kaulitz leaves the band. But
they’re just not right. I’ve always been slim and just
don’t gain weight, it doesn’t matter what I do. I
don’t pay attention to anything. I order milkshakes and coke and
I eat french fries – but it has to be vegetarian. Tom and I
don’t eat meat since a year and a half.

Do you cook sometimes?
My cooking skills are enough to cook a plate of pasta. But I’m
far too lazy for it anyways. When we’re on the road, we always
order something from the room service and otherwise I shove a frozen
pizza into the oven.

And your favorite meal – apart from frozen pizza?
I used to love duck with red cabbage and potatoes. But now as a
vegetarian I could only eat the side dish. That is why I now prefer to
eat Nudelgratin (cmmt.: didn’t find a translation for it XD) with
a lot of grilled cheese. It really has to be because of our genes, that
we don’t gain any weight. By the way, Tom weighs as much as me
– his clothes are just bigger than mine. Well, and he also
exercises more than me.

What do you do to stay fit?
To get through the upcoming gigs, I probably need to start jogging
again. Although I’m actually totally unsportsmanlike. Weight
lifting, swimming, football – I don’t do anything from the
above.
