Cleo Magazine in Singapore has a little interview with Bill and Tom Kaulitz from when Tokio Hotel was recently there for the Audi Fashion Festival. Even though it is in English, the scan from tokiohotelsg (THANK YOU!), also posted is the transcript of the printed magazine, in case the picture does not load well for you. Enjoy!
While in town for the Audi Fashion Festival 2010, Tokio Hotel’s identical twin brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz manage to rock us even without their guitars.
Would any of you consider a real career in the fashion industry, since you’ve already begun dabbling in it?
Bill: Yes. As a musician, I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic photographers and designers. I really enjoyed the time I worked with Karl Lagerfeld for Vogue and I’ve done some cool stuff with Vanity Fair. I also drew some costumes for our last tour. It’d be a dream to design my own line.
Now that you’re mega successful, is there anything you hate about fame?
Bill: Sometimes I wish I could just go out and do what I want to do and go drink in a bar or whatever, but it’s hard.
Tom: We hate the paparazzi. While we were in the Maldives this February and hanging around our bungalow, they were hunting us down. There were pictures of us in the tabloids the next day.
The other famous pair of twins in town are Dean and Dan Caten from DSquared, who always dress alike. Do you guys do that too?
Tom: We looked the same for the first six years of our lives.
Bill: That’s this tiny thing our parents did, dress us identically.
Tom: We had sweatshirts with “Tom” and “Bill” on them for the teachers to identify us more easily. Now, we decide what we want to look like.
Does the rest of the band feel that Bill, as the frontman of the band, tends to outshine everyone else?
Tom: Oh yeah, we all stand in the shadow of Bill. It’s always been like that since we started having interviews with magazines and stuff. Bill would be on the cover and we’d, you know, stand behind. [laughs]
Bill: Yeah, we’re cool with it cos we know each other so well. Plus, they can go to McDonald’s whenever they want. I can’t!
——————————————————–
Heh, Bill.

Do you guys think Bill would just do men’s clothing, or some of both? Either way, it contributes to the female gender. If Bill designs for us, we get great clothes. If Bill designs for men, then guys will possibly stop looking like crap.

Awhh. I hate that Gusti and Georg are always in the backk. But I think they accept it full-heartedly. Gustav has admitted to being shy on an occasion or two. Hahaha “They can go to McDonald’s whenever they want! I can’t.” Oh Bill. <3 lol.

hmm, interesting interview, i think.
Bill and Tom are so cute, and this is the first interview(i’ve seen) where they discuss Bill’s spotlight.
i think the are all okay with it…..they let Bill deal with the “business” side of their career, while they just stick to the music.
it’s fitting since Bill can literally talk your ear off, and they figure he might as well put it to good use!!

It is natural for the singer to be the frontman of the band, and the rest of TH obviously prefers when Bill takes the lead. In that Singapore interview where the interviewer asked Gustav to answer a question about the band’s name, Gustav looked so relieved when Bill stepped in to help him! I think the others enjoy being able to relax during interviews and let the chatterbox Bill do the hard work ;) They just speak up when they feel like it.

Bill, if you come up here to Alaska, you can go to McDonald’s without people bothering you;)! It’s a very beautiful vacation spot with (virtually) NO paparazzi.(Hint, hint!)

I wish you could! Mickey D’s is the hang-out spot. My friend and I always go there just to talk, and we always order French fries and a mocha. It would be awesome if Bill and Tom could join us since they’re usually the main topic of discussion. They would fit right in.
