Why is it important for you to be a part of the FAA?
B: Um, I think for us it just was something... we heard of it, and for us as a band it's of course good that we, with the music, because we're in the spotlight, can do things, can engage for things... And I think that it's a big topic, and especially with really young people... and, ehm... um... I mean, I know this: Tom is my brother, who also started pretty early with these things... It's just a big topic, and we thought, like, to combine that with a T-Shirt and to make a big campaign out of it, we really liked that, and of course it's an awesome message - and that's why we took part.

What can you say to your fans about protection?
B: Well, we think that that's very, very important, because I think, or we both think: Sex is a good thing...
T: Yeah.
B: I think everyone agrees, and the important thing is to watch out for yourself, and that's not hard to do, there are very simple things, you can do it very easily... always use a nice condom, and then you can romp around happily, like my brother... so, yeah: that's all.

Describe your personal style.
B: Well, I'm a total jacket fan. I think I have *pfft* no clue, can't count them any more... I have my whole closet full with jackets. I love 2nd hand jackets and I love strolling through all the stores. And Tom is more the Hip-Hop...
T: ...laid-back type...
B: ...and, um, doesn't really fit in with the music, I tell him always that he looks like crap, but he just doesn't wanna listen. But, I'll try to influence that a bit in the future. At least, now we've managed to wear the same T-Shirts... so, I think there's hope yet.
T: As you can see: It looks better on me, definitely.
B: yeah. totally.

What's your favorite piece of clothing?
B: Well, I'm a total jewelry fan. I always have a whole suitcase (or even several) full with lots of silver jewelry and ten thousand rings, and apart from that - jackets. As I said, I collect jackets to no end, I have them in all colors or forms imaginable...
T: Bill also has these really exquisite knickers. Like, also with "Eingriff" in front...
B: *lol*
T: ...and that's extremely, one has to say, pretty style, often also adorned with - how's it called: sequins, and so on. Yeah, he really has very pretty knickers, one has to say. Likes to collects them, too.
B: Yup.

What part of your T-shirt design do you like the most?
B: Of course, the design was mainly my job, because I'm the one who knows most about these things...
T: But the slogan of course came from me. That's clear.
B: Yeah, of course I was very much inspired by Tom and his experiences and so on... and we just tried to make the message short and memorable. Yeah, and apart from that: Skull - I have ten thousand skull things, and I thought it was extremely cool to do it like that, and of course we also took our logos, for the asterixs - I think everybody knows what it really says... And, yeah: I think it's a cool T-Shirt. Of course we had to come to an understanding concerning the colors, Tom first made a bit of a fuss because of the pink there, and such...
T: Yeah, true.
B: ... but I think, overall, it turned out quite well.

How can music affect people in a positive way?
B: Ehm, well. We... Especially I have started very early to write my own songs, everything, trouble I had, or just things I had experienced, just to write it down and make it into songs. I think everybody has his own way: Some write a diary. I always wrote songs. And I think you obviously can transport many things that are important to you... For us, it's a great time right now. We have lots of fans, we have the opportunity to play lots of concerts, and we have the opportunity to have many people listening to us. And then you can do things like right now, that you use this, that we make music and are in the public - and at the same time, work for a good cause. And I think listening is a lot more fun this way, when you get a message from you favorite band, instead of in school...
T: ...and, especially, of course: From your favorite guitar player!
B: *inaudible*
T: Favorite band would be saying a bit much...
B: I know how it is in school: The teachers talk about it, we also had this whole stuff in school... I know that you rather listen to music and play "battleships", instead of listening. So, I think it's good to do it also this way, and especially also have a nice T-Shirt in addition... Yup.

Translation by Artax @ THA:
[The girls often speak English, but it's hard to understand because of the German voice-over translation. So, sometimes I re-translate the German to English, and sometimes (when I can understand it) I just literally transcribe what they say (with possible mistakes)]
...French girl gang. A case that's getting more and more bizarre. While the girls after the fuel station brawl initially were portrayed as victims, it now seems to be clear that they are stalkers. For they show all the signs: Loyal fan love one the one side, one the other side, pursuing the band to a point where it becomes unbearable. What brings the girls to their extreme acts, and what the boys of TH have yet to fear - Cornelia Hanneman and Fiona Nickel report.
They seem tense. Continuous nail-biting is supposed to calm them. An insecure smile attempts to divert. The girls are nervous and are afraid, for the stalkers of TH have now themselves become targets:
Noemie: "They're saying: 'Yeah, we'll kill you!' Girls from the US say they want to take a plane to come and beat us down. And ... yeah, that's pretty much scary stuff."
Probably not only that. For there could also be legal consequences for the girls. It's said that TH want to press charges for stalking. The French girls had been following the band for months. Only when Tom Kaulitz lost his composure at this fuel station and knocked down one of the girls, everything became known to the public. And the public rendered the judgement: Stalkers.
"But it was all different!", the girls say now.
Noemie: "I think, whenever the boys saw fans, they always thought it was us - although it wasn't always us! Sometimes, we just ran into them. Like, for example, here in the inner city."
This piece is attributed to the girls. It's a letter to TH, and it's not a love letter. In bad German it says: "The next week will be a little nightmare..." It wasn't at all meant like that, the girls justify themselves:
Noemie: "If you're talking about the letter... I mean, that was a big... misunderstandment?! Cause our German is not good at all."
The girls deny having threatened the boys - but still, they veiled themselves after the fuel station incident. They are adamant that they're no stalkers. But what exactly is "stalking", actually? Psychologist Michael Thiel explains: "Stalking comes from the English hunting vocabulary, and means something like 'hunt', 'pursue'... the hunted animal is set upon, one closes in on it."
There were car chases like in this video [Text: "Is it them?" "Get behind him!"]. "Get behind him!", one of them cries. In the jeep in front of them - Tom from TH. And also this footage, with mother Kaulitz in front of Bill and Tom's house, speaks for itself. Whether this scuffle will have legal consequences - strangely enough, the girls' lawyer doesn't know:
Benecken: "The legal status is not really clear at the moment. At any rate, we haven't heard from the police or the prosecutor's office so far, we don't know whether charges will be pressed against the ladies, or not."
The spokesperson for the Hamburg police sounds somehow differently:
Jan Krüger: "I can confirm that a complaint because of battery was filed by Mrs Kaulitz against an as yet unidentified female fan." Against one of them, that is. But how does it even happen that 20-25 year old women possibly have broken the law - because of a teenie band?!
Psychologist: "At the beginning of such a pathologic stalker development, there often are some blows of fate, like e.g., you lose your job, or you dropped out of school... and somehow, sometimes also by coincidence, you just get this idea: Ah, this celebrity could be the one to give my life meaning again, I'll follow him now, because that keeps me busy 24/7, and I don't have to think about my own life."
All four girls are from France. Three of them - Noemie, Aurande(?), Clarine - live in Germany by now. In Hamburg - the city where also their favorite band lives. They are students and are jobbing beside that, one of them is an apprentice. How they get the time and the money to chase TH so obsessively, they won't tell. It was the love for the band that brought the four together in the first place.
N: I met her here in Hamburg, and she knew the others from the internet.
They made headlines as "Afghanes on tour", their veiled faces are supposed to inflict fear, they're supposed to be a gang - but the girls deny all that. They only were innocent fans, and had not stalked TH and their families in a threatening and scary manner... But in that case, it's strange that the band stopped their recordings in LA, and stayed in Germany to protect their family. But now, all the safety measures and headlines don't matter anymore, say the girls:
N: The only image we still have in our head is that of Tom hitting our friend.
Especially for Perrine, the time as a fan is over now, after all, she was the one that got hit by Tom's fist.
P: TH is over for me.
N: We have no respect for them any more. We don't want to have anything to do with them any more, and just go on with our life.
There's no trace of self-reflection or remorse with the girls. One almost gets the feeling that the four themselves believe that they are just totally normal fans. But maybe the stalking at least comes to an end now. That certainly would be a relieve for TH.
