“I never had a role model or something.”

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

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

“Of course, our roots are in Germany, it always will be the feeling of home.”

“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.”

“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 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 think the Jonas Brothers are really sexy in America.”

“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.”

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

“Just try to do things you love and I think then it's always good. If you like what you do then it's fine.”

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

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

“It's hard to do 'Monsoon' again and again and again.”

“It's really hard to get fans in another country, especially here, because America is so, so big, so it's really hard to get known in this country.”

“We are nervous before every concert. I think we are the most nervous band in the world.”

“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.”

“And I hope we get the chance to play Warped Tour. That would be really nice.”

“I'm always better when I'm not doing well, that's when I write good songs.”
