I see a lot of people who just want to get on the TV screens, no matter if there is talent or not.

If you’re really in love, you don’t care about all the other girls that are standing in line for you.

I want my true love, because I don't have so much time, and I wanna spend my time with the right girl

I want true love, because I don't have so much time, and I want to spend my time with the right girl.

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

In my opinion, love is not about gender, it's not about religion. Love has no borders and no boundaries.

I saw a concert with Nena singing '99 Red Balloons' on TV and I said, 'I will also go onstage and sing.'

But if the feelings are mutual, I open my heart without restriction. I’m not afraid to say 'I love you'.

Always remember, believe in today, believe in tomorrow, believe in yourself, and whatever happens, don't jump.

We've given up the idea that a guitar must always and everywhere be readily available just because we're a band.

'Ready, Set, Go' is kind of our story. It's about going for your dream and not being afraid to start a new life.

I don't care about the fact that a dogs place is not in a bed - the closer they are to me, the more beautiful it is.

I think that casting shows are pretty good at teaching someone how to present themselves and how to handle the media.

I miss being able to just hang out with people and friends and grab ice cream or go to the cinema... the normal stuff.

I simply find it boring to walk around like everybody else. I find it really great to stand out and do something special.

We have so much inspiration. It's everywhere... So I always have a pen with me and a laptop, and I write everything down.

Laughing is such a pure and natural thing I try to laugh every day. Think that's one of the most important things in life.

The first thing I notice about a girl, is her hands. I like girls with nice hands. ... And she must be spontaneous as well.

I don't really think about the fact that a lot of people are watching 'DSDS' or about the way I should phrase my sentences.

Always listen to yourself. Believe in you and believe in what you do. And even when other people say you can't handle that.

The connection we have is something special. We know each other since we were in the womb! You can't get any closer then that

There's so many German songs which are really popular in Germany that I find really bad. It can quickly border on kitsch pop.

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

You know it was really hard to do a set, or even to do interviews in English, because in Europe, we always had a translator with us.

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.

We had decided to totally disappear from the media, to not do any interviews and photo shoots. Tom and I just needed time to ourselves.

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.

You obviously learn each time you go on tour, with each concert, with each song, from all your mistakes. But everything we did was authentic.

Sometimes I think nobody is looking - and then there's still a picture being taken. There are just some complete idiots who follow us everywhere.

We really want to be successful in America, we really want to try it. There are not so many German bands who get the chance to come to America to play.

I don’t show my body for a good cause... if one day in a concert I pull down my pants, I would leave without job to those reporters who say I’m a woman

When I was 13 I would come to school with makeup and nail polish and I had teachers who would say, 'We can't teach you and you're not allowed in class.'

Well, in the beginning Tom and I were running around in identical things until we were six or seven years old, I think. We were wearing the same clothes.

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.

The more people were telling me that I couldn't come to school with make-up on my eyes, the next day I would just make my eyes even darker, and with black hair.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Music, it's an emotion; if you're just a puppet, how can you put your soul in what you do? For my part, I believe that I put my soul to it, so I get angry when people think that what I do is plastic.

I want an intelligent girl whom I can talk about everything. I want her to be my friend, to be partners. I don't like when a girl is rough, but delicate and subtle. I like good manners and not rudeness nor arrogance.

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.

I wouldn't exclude writing another song in German, but I don't want to translate songs anymore. We used to sit down and literally translate every song word for word - it was very technical, and the songs would lose so much along the way.

We were the leaders of a company at the age of 15 with lawyers, tax advisers and managers around us, all on our payroll. A huge chunk of responsibility rested on our shoulders, which at the same time was a good thing since we hate superiors.

I’m very romantic. I really believe in true love, a love that you only find once in a lifetime, if you have the chance. Because, I think that many people never find it, which is very sad. But, I’m not a guy who flirts easily with girls. I believe that there’s somebody out there for me. I’m still searching.

I looked at the photos at the VMAs and my hair was the most. That was a time when we were the most extreme - like, I totally looked like Cher. And it always took, like, two bottles of hairspray every morning. Yeah, we've definitely changed a lot. But I love that we have that history, and I enjoy looking back.
