With the podcast and the series, there are barely any boundaries. I find that quite lovely and relaxing because I do not feel like I have to live up to a certain image. I have a job where I can simply be myself \u2013 that feels good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When do you feel like you are the best version of yourself?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On stage and in front of the camera. Yesterday, I had a cover shoot, and I felt incredibly comfortable. But when I go out with Alfia, wearing a cap and glasses, I feel like I\u2019m in disguise. I try to hide and not stand out, which is not really in my nature. Normally, I would be walking around as if I were going on stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are a singer, podcaster, presenter, star of your own reality show, and much more.

The music industry is so fast-paced and constantly changing. To maintain a career with a live audience for 20 years is a huge task, especially in the era of streaming and social media. We are playing at festivals in Germany with Tokio Hotel for the first time now. Even after all these years, it\u2019s extremely exciting \u2013 to stand in front of 80,000 people, knowing that not all of them are your fans.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":117142,"id":117142,"title":"20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB","filename":"20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","filesize":386566,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/bill-kaulitz-the-secret-is-no-secrets\/20240625_sleek_x_bill_07_look_214_v3_rgb\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"20240625_sleek_x_bill_07_look_214_v3_rgb","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":117112,"date":"2024-09-16 09:19:56","modified":"2024-09-16 09:19:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1466,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","thumbnail-width":73,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","medium-width":1466,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","medium_large-width":1466,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","large-width":1466,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB-1173x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1173,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","2048x2048-width":1466,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_07_LOOK_214_v3_RGB.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1466,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Bill wears JACKET Issey Miyake SWEATER & PANTS & SHOES Bottega Veneta JEWELLERY Bill's own."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You and your twin brother Tom are so different yet so similar.

The beauty of getting older is that you learn and become more relaxed \u2013 in your career and your personal life. Disappointments and heartbreak become easier. I used to think every drama was the end of the world. There is still drama in my life, but less than before.

Tom and I didn\u2019t know what that was like. We grew up with our mum without any siblings; our family is very small. We were already working and moved out at 15, so we had little time for family. The type of family life that Heidi has with her four children is new to us: at 7.30 pm, everyone sits down to dinner together. We put our phones away and talk about the day.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":117137,"id":117137,"title":"20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_02_LOOK_209_v3_RGB","filename":"20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_02_LOOK_209_v3_RGB.jpg","filesize":554394,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_02_LOOK_209_v3_RGB.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/bill-kaulitz-the-secret-is-no-secrets\/20240625_sleek_x_bill_02_look_209_v3_rgb\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"20240625_sleek_x_bill_02_look_209_v3_rgb","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":117112,"date":"2024-09-16

400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom once said about one of my outfits, \u2018If I didn\u2019t know you and saw you like that on the street, I\u2019d probably cross to the other side.\u2019 I like to experiment and push boundaries. Sometimes I go completely over the top, and the next moment, I prefer something very elegant and understated. My style is very fluid. Good style is authenticity; you can tell when someone is in disguise. My friend often says that the guy I am dating does not match my style at all, but I like that because it means he is being authentic. I am not going to change anyone to make them a better fit for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is your current favourite designer?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think Pharrell is doing a great job at Louis Vuitton right now. I\u2019m obsessed with the country vibes. My all-time hero was Hedi Slimane; his looks for Saint Laurent were a perfect fit for me. As a teenager, I always shopped at Dior because those were the only trousers that fit me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have made strong statements with your hairstyles throughout your career. What does your hairstyle mean to you today?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair is super important to me, and I love to change mine frequently. It\u2019s like fashion; it keeps me alive and always has to be quite fluid. These transformations often happen quite quickly with me \u2013 maybe tomorrow I\u2019ll shave it off. Today, there are so many possibilities with wigs and extensions. We used to use a special hairspray for my huge hairstyle, but it wasn\u2019t available in America. We had to carry suitcases full of it everywhere. It took 90 minutes to tease the hair to the volume I wanted. Wigs would have made it easier, but they were not so common back then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at photos from the past few years, you never look the same in any of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely, but it is unplanned, just like fashion. I have never thought about where my style should go or held meetings about it. I also rarely work with stylists and mostly do it alone because I enjoy it so much. Even for big shows, I pack several outfits and decide on the day what to wear. Courage and even missteps are part of your own style, and I can live with that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What advice would you give to 15-year-old Bill, who is about to have his big break?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have fun, and don\u2019t take everything so seriously. I was incredibly stressed and dramatic back then, didn\u2019t laugh enough, and didn\u2019t enjoy it as much as I should have. There was so much pressure and such high expectations, even from myself. I had a huge fear of failure, of being just a one-hit wonder. I would whisper to young Bill: In 20 years, things will still be going well, so relax. There was so much rejection and hate that I always felt like I had to constantly prove to everyone that I was good. As a result, I sometimes forgot to have fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the best thing about being famous, and what is the worst?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll be honest: The best thing is that you always get special treatment. You never have to wait for a table; you can get any flight and any hotel. You rarely hear the word \u2018no\u2019. The worst thing is the lack of privacy. I don\u2019t complain because it\u2019s part of the deal. I\u2019ve lived most of my life in the public eye. I\u2019ve never said \u2018no\u2019 to a photo because I know it takes courage to ask, nor have I ever gotten annoyed when someone secretly took a picture of me. Of course, there are limits \u2013 and people who cross them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need certain personality traits to be a star?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you have to really want this life in the public eye. Filming the reality show was a big challenge for many friends and family members. Some people can\u2019t relax in front of a camera. If you have a lot of insecurities or care too much about what others think, then it\u2019s the wrong job. You need thick skin, confidence, and you have to love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the US, celebrities are celebrated, but Germany seems not to appreciate its own stars as much. Why do you think that is?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Germans like down-to-earth people and stars who seem like girl-or-boy-next-door types. Nothing should be \u2018too much\u2019; you\u2019re supposed to stay grounded. In America, it\u2019s the opposite: \u2018The sky is the limit.\u2019 Many people in Germany found us too loud and too visual, especially when you consider the hype with the screaming, crying fans outside the concert halls. You also don\u2019t see many child stars here. A singer-songwriter in a baseball cap is seen as preferable to someone who puts on a big show \u2013 unless the star is from the US. I feel that people do not want glamorous stars as much in their own country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I definitely do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent, so do I.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":117135,"id":117135,"title":"20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB","filename":"20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","filesize":594443,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/bill-kaulitz-the-secret-is-no-secrets\/20240625_sleek_x_bill_01_look_119_v3_rgb\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"20240625_sleek_x_bill_01_look_119_v3_rgb","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":117112,"date":"2024-09-16 09:18:30","modified":"2024-09-16 09:18:30","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1466,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","thumbnail-width":73,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","medium-width":1466,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","medium_large-width":1466,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","large-width":1466,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB-1173x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1173,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","2048x2048-width":1466,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20240625_SLEEK_x_BILL_01_LOOK_119_v3_RGB.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1466,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Bill wears FULL LOOK Ferragamo JEWELLERY Bill's own."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When did you first experience bullying? What was that like for you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very, very early on, in primary school. I was wearing girls&#8217; sandals. My mum told me I should not wear them, saying it would only make things harder for me. I was held down, had my hair pulled, and was too afraid to go to the toilet, worried they would lock the door. But I was very street smart and made friends with older kids who looked out for us. Plus, we were quite lucky because there were always two of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a band, you were both loved and hated, and both to extremes. How did you cope with that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My childhood was a good boot camp for what was to come later. I knew early on how people would react to me, so I was no longer shocked when it happened on a large scale. We isolated ourselves, and we were always surrounded by security personnel. Thankfully, there was no social media back then; everything happened offline. Our lives took place behind closed doors \u2013 we snuck in through the back door or the underground car park, in darkened cars. Go in, perform, and get out. The fans were not to catch us, and more importantly, neither were the haters. That\u2019s how we survived. The four of us were like in a cocoon. Going through that with your best friends, your family, and Tom, it really brought us closer. Of course, we had moments of fear, panic, depression, and exhaustion. But we were always able to pull ourselves out of it because our bond with each other provided a strong foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What scars do you still carry from that time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, I definitely have quite a few. A psychologist would surely have a few things to say about my dating life. I have never had a public relationship and never found a partner who dared to face that. I always pick the wrong men. Additionally, I have a bit of social phobia \u2013 especially in large groups, 15-year-old Bill\u2019s fears resurface. I find it difficult to stay calm or speak up in those situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is typically German, and what is very American about you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My punctuality and precision are totally German. My work ethic \u2013 never being late and not complaining \u2013 is very German, as is my taste in food. I grew up with German cuisine and love it. I guess I\u2019m quite American in my attitude towards money. Germans tend to be frugal and sensible. I enjoy spending money, driving fancy cars, living in a beautiful house, and going shopping. I believe money should be in circulation and bring joy. Planning and saving are boring to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your show, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaulitz &amp; Kaulitz,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was number one on Netflix <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Germany<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How did it feel to see the finished show?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was more emotional than I had expected. It was fascinating to see my friends from a new perspective and discover new sides in them that the camera brought out. And it was intriguing to see myself from an outside perspective. The Oktoberfest was especially significant for me; meeting someone in front of the camera was something I had never done before. Besides, I haven\u2019t had such an intense first meeting in years. Overall, it was a very exciting and emotional time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the way the show portrays you match your self-image, or are there differences?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I watch the show and think it\u2019s perhaps very honest at times, but that\u2019s just who I am. I never felt that anything was edited or portrayed incorrectly. Through the podcast, we\u2019ve learnt that it is best not to have a filter. Secrets and over-edited content make everything worse. You have to go all-in; otherwise, it\u2019s just a promo video for yourself. Pain and disappointment are part of it, and I think it\u2019s important to show that. Many people asked if I\u2019d have preferred to cut the scenes with Marc, but that is part of it. It was authentic, and the cameras were there. We filmed it, and afterwards, I thought, to hell with it, we\u2019ll show it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the podcast and the reality show, your fans feel like they know everything about you, forming a parasocial relationship with you. How does it feel when you now meet strangers who know so much about you and your life?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s something I\u2019m still getting used to. Especially since the show came out, I\u2019ve noticed that there are often situations where strangers feel the need to involve themselves in my conversations. For example, I might be having a private conversation with a friend and someone doing my hair or serving coffee chimes in with their opinion. Many people feel the urge to give me advice or share their views, whether they agreed with me or Tom in a discussion, or what kind of man would be right for me. That can be charming at times, but sometimes it\u2019s just a bit much. I try to ignore it. Still, I do notice that people feel like they really are part of my life somehow, which is quite amusing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you share any details about new projects you are currently working on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re currently working on our new primetime show for ProSieben, which will air in the autumn. I\u2019m not sure how much I am allowed to reveal just yet. Additionally, we\u2019re working on new music with the band, though that has been a bit neglected recently. We have tour rehearsals coming up as we\u2019re preparing for our festival show, and we\u2019re getting ready to tour in Latin America. So, there will be a lot of music and rehearsals. And perhaps we will even film a few more things\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TT:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What dreams would you still like to fulfil?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think a beautiful wedding in Venice would be lovely. It would be a dream if it happened with the right partner, but if it doesn\u2019t happen, then I\u2019m fine with that.
