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 I miss just being able to go out on the street and have fun.

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 miss just being able to go out with my dog, in nature and being spontaneous.

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.

My strategy is being as honest as possible.

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

We were extremely lucky that someone discovered us as a band and that we got to experience a type of cinderella story.

I think the third record is the hardest one.

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.

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 have started to make music at age seven. That was a hard work.

Sometimes I've been interested in studying fashion design. Just for fun.

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

I'm sometimes a little bit paranoid.

It takes courage to break down the walls that keep you away from really living your life.

We're working twice as hard as any other band.

Success is like a drug.

We want to be successful everywhere. But if not, at least we can go on vacation to London.

I believe no other singer has to remember so many different lyrics like I do.

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 was always happy with my look and with my hair, and so when I look at the old pictures, I don't like the hair now, but I was happy for that moment, and that's great.

It's the most important thing, that you're happy with your music and your style. You can't create success and you can't create a successful band.

We just write about the stuff that happens to us.

I get the most girls, but I'm not the type that actually likes to mess around.

In L.A., there's In-N-Out burgers. I'm the biggest fan of that.

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

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

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

I think a big dream would be to do something with Aerosmith or someone like that.

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

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 think it's really hard for me... to sing in English, because it's not my mother tongue.

I think the Jonas Brothers are really sexy in America.
