Bild on Sunday:
"Scooter" is one of the most successful German bands, although many do not take seriously. You bugged it?
We have sold 25 million records, but still we were not really true takes to be successful. We do not get much attention. On "Wetten, dass.?" We were never, for example. Although just because blondes are thriving.
Would you go?
Sure. When the number "Jump That Rock (What Ever You Want), a cover of a song by Status Quo, I was already a bit disappointed that there was no question. I thought it would fit very well because it was so well across generations. But added Depeche Mode for their first bet "Wetten, dass.?"-Needed appearance 20 years. Maybe that comes with us too.
The disdain of "Scooter" does not go unnoticed by you?
I do not think it's bad. Our fans do not want to see scooters as "Everybody's Darling. Find it good that it gave offense somewhere. It was never my goal to be hailed anywhere. Otherwise we will become complacent and has his own things to not critical enough. I am spurred to become even better. Especially in the first few years we have only get worst critics. Since we would also like to einbuddeln. But it has exactly the opposite effect on us, we wanted to prove it to people.
There were no low points?
Yet, even in the early stages. Especially at concerts were often unprofessional reviewers. The hut was full, all excited - and then have somewhere they still found a hair in your soup. I found that unfair.
Have you ever experienced the dark side of success?
There are phases in which a creative think of anything, you're sort of falling into a hole. Since then, I think that we never have another one hit about. These stages of self-doubt emerge in ten years every now and again. I will then not depressed, but my mood is damn lousy. To the outside world, I am a few weeks not stand very well. But the more I reinsteigere there, the worse it gets.
Like this manifest itself?
In the studio we zicken us animal. I give all the debt that nothing works. My wife, of course, also remember that I am a bad mood. Then come the comforting words, that it is always so. And every time I say: 'No, this time it is different, we get the point any more.' And then repeats itself again and again. Whether you have experienced this a dozen times or not. One simply does not believe it, again getting the curve.
But then it works but ...
Eventually I get my head clear again. Then the ideas for good new songs are coming back.
The Eta attack on Mallorca are just barely escaped you. Do thoughts about death?
Of course, one that thinks about it. But this situation was so abstract that I have not really realized. Thoughts of death, I would rather move ahead of me. For that I am quite a hypochondriac. Once it somewhere in my tweaks, I always think like the worst. A few years ago I had a numb feeling in my foot and it was felt that I had a smoker's leg. I'm with my family doctor has examined everything. Luckily he has found nothing.
You know, where does the Hypochondria?
I'm afraid that something happened to me, I can not control that I am limited in life and everything is turned upside down.
Have you made your will?
No, I'm a little superstitious. I think that what really happened to me if I would put my will. That's why I prefer to leave it.
Do you have an organ donation card?
No. But when I think about it, I immediately got a strange feeling. I want to cover it all, not even. Is really stupid, but I can not break away from the idea that organs be taken from me and would I maybe way back five minutes later, still in life - and there are the craziest things.
With a child you could leave your genes, but at least on the ground. How do things with family planning?
I had it until now not in a hurry with succession planning. My wife Simone with her law studies do not quite done yet. She wants a baby when she has everything behind him and a job. Since having children somehow lies in the hands of women, I think that's okay too. I have not had the desire that I now have a child should. I'm just a kid himself somehow.
And so you also like to take the make-up pot?
This has nothing to do with Carnival. I'll do that just for TV shows. But what I always wear and privately, is a slightly transparent, slightly tinted face powder. This has the advantage that it does not look so pale when one wakes up. For this purpose a little mascara on the lashes, and from time to time I dye for the eyebrows and they tug. I do this so very subtle, just feel so much better.
Rather unusual for a man, right?
That everything has its origins in my new-wave era. At that time I went did not leave the house without eyeliner. Since it was really extreme. Earlier in my home was empty, of course, a lot of talk about it. But now for me that is so obvious that I am not even thinking about it. It is not so that I may need an hour in the bathroom. These are just three handles. In ten minutes, everything is done.
Do you sometimes feel prejudice, because you make yourself up?
People know me really just that. Which may not even know that I as well as views Principal sponsors something. I do not get by me so feminine, rather the reverse. In recent years, so grab more and more men to cosmetics. In the evening I take a night and morning, a day cream. It ensures that only on themselves. In show business that's not really so unimportant.
