Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
прислали ссылку тут про значение имени...

Вообще же, твердость и основательность чаще всего начинают проявляться в Надином характере с детства. Она достаточно усидчива, терпелива, иногда излишне серьезна и упряма, но энергетика имени наделяет ее значительным оптимизмом, а потому и жизнерадостностью.
****
Ее практически невозможно заставить что либо сделать, но против доброй просьбы она нередко бессильна. Тем не менее если, уступая просьбам, она будет слишком долго поступаться своими интересами, то рано или поздно неизбежен грандиозный взрыв.

и т.д.

ничто не напрасно. Пошла я спрашивать у яндекса про Неваду Тан, набрела на какой-то форум с чудесным комментарием в нитке:

под морем много, не всегда цензурно, может, и не настаивает на истине в последней инстанции, но интересно и, блин, заставляет задуматься. Я не на все 100% согласна с автором, и в некоторый вещах очень хотелось бы, чтобы он совсем ошибался. Но время -- честный человек, оно покажет. Единственное, в чем я уверена совершенно точно -- Детка не сможет жить без сцены.

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

This is the interview Bill and Tom had with the Ochsenknecht brothers. They didn't talk about music but rather about the united Germany and other themes like that.


ALL CREDIT TO "Zillah" for the translating!
The better on!



-----------------

NOTE: there's a lot about (german) politics in there so reading the notes might help you understand what they're talking about. i tried adding basic background info to stuff that might be confusing for people not living in germany/europe.
-------------------------------------


november 9th: we invited germany's biggest teenie-stars over for a talk.
the ochsenknecht and the kaulitz brothers- born at the age of reunion- on eastern & western germany, old home and new values.


Berlin-Mitte, a suite in the "Ritz Carlton"- every girl below 16 would habe to be instantly re-animated: the four most important boys of germany are sitting on a leather sofa, are eating gummy bears and are getting into the talk. in the back, on the carpet floor, is sitting the entourage: grown-up people who are wearing crew-tickets around their necks and are giving us a hard time because time is short. right now, everyone wants the Kaulitz and Ochsenknecht brothers. two of them are touring through france with Tokio Hotel, the other two have just signed their record deals and done new movies. all four of them are very well behaved: get up, shake hands, say "glad to meet you"- they're obviously not doing it for the first time. our plan: talk to them about their home, their country, meaning germany. talk with Bill and Tom Kaulitz from Loitsche near Magdeburg and Jimi Blue and Wilson Gonzales Ochsenknecht, the high-society kids from Grünwald near Munich.


SZ-Magazin: exactly 18 years ago, the wall fell, so you're all about as old as the reunited germany. what does that day mean to you?



Bill:
people celebrate. and we celebrate with them, even though we were not really affected by it. sill, we're happy that we profited from the fall of the wall.


Jimi Blue (JB):
my dad told me about it but a real meaning- not really, well, maybe a bit.

Tom: honestly, i don't really care for that day.

Wilson Gonzales (WZ): it's certainly touching to see reports on tv about how happy people were back then when they broke through the wall and were able to hug the people on the other side of the wall. when i see that, i realize how bad it must have been to live behind a wall like that.

what do you associate with the DDR (= eastern germany)?

Bill: it was never a hot topic for us. true, we're touring other countries a lot and keep getting asked about it but i can only say it again: we only ever knew germany as one country.

Tom: the other day, someone in Italy asked us whether we're excited because we're from eastern germany and we're able to see Rome now. and once, people even offered us bananas.

WG: i've been to an art school in Los Angeles for a year and people kept asking me about what Hitler is doing right now and whether we actually have fridges in germany already. someone needs to whack americans over the head so that they understand that germany is a normal country. there's a lot of people in the USA who still believe what a lot of germans still think about eastern europe, namely that it's totally lagging behind and uninteresting. when i think of the DDR, only the flag comes to mind with the hammer and the sickle. what about you, Jimi?

JB: what?
Bill: *laughs* didn't pay attention, aw!
JB: well, i also only remember the flag.

WG and JB grew up in Grünwald, which is the posh district in munich and on top of that they were born into a popular family; Bill and Tom, you're from Loitsche, a village in Magdeburg. would you say your childhood was more difficult?

Bill: east and west- i don't make a difference. we also don't make this "ossie" (people from eastern germany) and "wessi" (people from western germany) difference at all, those espressions don't even exist for us anymore, except maybe for our teachers. i think the much bigger difference is: we grew up in a village and you in the city.

WG: Grünwald is just a village as well but true, it's close to the city and that's why we probably hung out there more. besides that, we accompanied our dad to premieres or filmings every now and then.

Tom: growing up in a village ain't all that bad, at least until you're a certain age. i mean where in the city can you build tree-houses? on the other hand, Bill and i always drew unwanted attention to us because we were looking different than the others. that's why we've been dreaming of moving to Berlin from a young age on because everyone can run around there however they want to.

Bill: freedom has always been the most important thing for us. which is why i had "freiheit" tattooed on my left arm shortly before our 18th birthday.

can you still remember your first trip to Berlin?

Bill: sure, when we were 12, we got into a train and went there. Tom and i hardly had any money but we absolutely wanted to go up to the tv-tower. up there, we had much too expensive coffee- latte macchiato of course- and pretended to be able to afford it.

WG: i was 6 or 7 and can only remember going by subway and being in a sushi-bar. Berlin was like a small district of New York to me back then, i still remember that. today, i think that the people in Berlin are much more friendly than in Munich. they don't care what you're wearing but what brains you got.
Berlin isn't necessarily the cleanest but certainly the most artistic city in germany.

JB: true, there were a lot of stuck up people in Munich. everything's much more mixed up in Berlin, there's petty people and punks, a couple of freaks.. everything's possible.

you're on the road a lot more than other teenagers your age to go to concerts and filmings. where do you really feel at home?

Bill: in germany all the way even down to the point where i feel much more at home in german hotels than in hotels in say, Moscow or Paris, no matter how luxurious they are. especially the language gives you a feeling of being at home.
WG: true, that's what i really figured out during my year in america- home hasn't got anything to do with a certain town or place. and something else i noticed: a lot of people are dissing germany. and they're wrong. germany is an awesome country, a lot better and more positive than the USA. americans are very artificial and way too many things are being directed by the state over there. you don't get alcohol until you're 21 and you can't even smoke in your own home anymore when you live in a flat (note: ooohh, i hope i got that one right! *squints*)
- you gotta imagine that!

JB: well, i think america is better than germany. it's warm, the people are nice, they got nice beaches, Venice Beach and Las Vegas. i'd like to live there one day.


Tom
: in other countries, there's a lot of things you gotta get used to like for example that things can be really unorganized sometimes. germans are usually better at planning things, like the "Echo" awards in Berlin where we started practising two days ago- in Italy for example, big shows like that are being filmed right away. or Moscow: they didn't even have finished building the stage an hour before the show.

is there something you don't like about Germany?

Bill: clearly the school system. i'd grade it F.
WG: especially in bavaria!

Tom: the german school system differs from land to land- everyone's on a different level. when you come to another city because you moved for example, you feel like you've landed on an entirely different planet.

WG: i changed schools a couple of times and loathed maths in one school and german in the other, that's weird.

JB: which is why i quit school altogether. i still got a private teacher because of the education and stuff but school ain't my kinda thing.

there's this term of "german pettyness". who or what do you think is petty?

WG: the kids in the posh clubs in Munich, the "P1" for example, who throw their parent's money around and run around in polo-shirts with the collars put up, those are petty. they think they can impress people with daddy's credit card. i'm proud of earning my own money and can invite my friends for a drink every now and then.

Bill: i'm petty when it comes to one thing: being punctual. that's really important to me. and being reliable.

JB: i'm pretty petty when it comes to food. i always need two forks, one for the main dish and one for the salad. and if i see even one mouldy spot in the shower, i'd rather not shower at all.

Tom: to me, petty people are people who are intolerant who got no way to express themselves and are always living by the rules. and i don't mean laws by that but rules they made up themselves or let other people make up for themselves. people who only do what other people tell them to and who never peek over the edge of the plate and who always say "don't do that! you're not supposed to do that!" we used to live in a detached house settlement once, in an area with playing-roads and stuff and man, there were some really petty people there. but we're far away from all that already.

the past couple of weeks ago, the media has been talking a lot about the "german autumn". RAF - does that tell you anything at all?
(note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction)

WG: there was this one terrorist they let lose again. or didn't they? or did they just protest against letting her free again?

JB: i read something about that in the Spiegel. that was interesting because Grünwald is near Straßlach where someone got killed back then, a president or something, at least there's a memorial plate there.

WG: punk was founded at the same time, that honestly interests me more than the RAF.

the main focus of the RAF was among others to split wealth apart differently and more fairly. what do you think about that?

WG: people who are at the bottom nowadays don't often even make an effort to climb to the top. they don't try hard enough and maybe that's why they become criminals.

JB: i think about that a lot, you know, why that's the case that the rich people get everything trown at them as presents and the poorer people gotta buy everything themselves. when i've gotten older, i really am gonna change something about that, i don't know what yet but i'll at least give it a try.

Tom: still, there's some kind of middle-class in germany. like our family for example. we were neither rich nor poor. in the end, everyone's gotta make their own way and learn how to deal with frustrations of all kinds. we turned it into music, others are demonstrating or kick-boxing.

what kind of frustration?

Bill: we used to rebel for ourselves. we hated school and our teachers were really bad. my big advantage always was that i knew my rights. e.g. i knew when tests that weren't handed back on time would expire. our mom had to run to school almost every day to listen about how horrible their sons were.

JB: when i was in fifth class, teachers used to mob me saying stuff like "you think you're something better than the rest because your dad is Uwe Ochsenknecht."
WG: yeah, teachers used to yell at us a lot, i even got nine reprimands in one week once. shortly before they threw me out once and for all, i quit school

Che Guevara used to be a teenage idol back in the days- who's your hero now?

Tom: when we still used to go clubbing, a lot of people wore Che Guevara shirts. there were a lot of demonstrations going on around us, also started by punks, so rebellion was definitely a major topic back then.

WG: i used to stand together with about 3.000 punks on the Marienplatz to demonstate against the NPD (note: the neo-nazi party in germany). but overall, there's not a whole lot of reasons to demonstate against stuff in germany. if i was living in the USA, i could think of thousands of reasons but over here?

are there any politicians you have a liking for?

Bill: i don't talk about stuff like that. i don't want to manipulate anyone by my personal decision or my choice of voting. everyone's gotta have their own opinion.

Tom: but we definitely do vote, since we're finally 18 and all. (note: good boys.)

WG: the parties can go to war against each other for all i care. when i turn 18, i'm definitely gonna go to vote and then i'll also inform myself properly about it. now i got different idols, like the musician Tom Morello for example
(note: guitarist of Rage against the Machine). he is playing for free during demonstrations to support good causes. he doesn't care for the money but for the cause.

you were born directly into the era Kohl. do you remember him?
(note: Helmut Kohl: german chansellor (CDU) until 1998 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Kohl)


Tom: *shapes a pear with his hand* the kinda big guy?

and Gerhard Schröder?
(note: G. Schröder: german chansellor (SPD) following Kohl until 2005 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Schr%C3%B6der)

WG: hm, SPD?

Tom: *laughs* yeah, i'd have known that too.

your generation was branded by cold war, tschernobyl, forest-death and atom-energy. what was the major happenings, the turning points of your youth?

WG: certainly sept. 11th, but mostly what happened afterwards. i've been watching a lot of documentaries about the attack on the WTC and i realized: in the end, the americans beat themselves with their own weapons since they enabled Bin Laden in the first place. that's when i realized how the world nowadays is working and that America is the world-police who's butting in into everyone's business. on the one side, i'm sure they want to help but on the other hand, they want to get the biggest possible profit out of it at the same time. germany is a lot more laid back about all that, they do whatever they think is right and don't let themselves get dragged into all kinds of shit.

Bill: of course a lot of stuff happened during our childhood that we think about, mainly of course sept. 11th. still, we try not to let our fears block us.

can you imagine joining the army and maybe even go to Afghanistan to help re-build the country again?

JB: no way. i'm just so lazy. always being on edge, giving 100%, that'd be way too stressful for me. i'm going to be doing social service for sure. i'd be nothing but scared in Afghanistan, that's so not my cup of tea.

WG: the army turned me down already due to my funnel chest. but the army wouldn't me my thing anyway, i'd rather stay by my friends and help out in social homes or handicapped homes.

Tom: we'll think about that when we're invited to the medical examination for the military service.

how do you like to live when you get older?

Tom: like the Stones. i want to be standing on stage all my life.

Bill: i'd like to have my own label one day and a flat in another country. still: my roots are in germany and i always want to come back here.

JB: i'd like to be a fashion designer one day. maybe i'll get that out of my two years at the Waldorf-School. (note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_school)

WG:
i'd like to have a gigantic company that produces all kinds of stuff: movies, music, furniture, fashion and condoms.

can you still remember the first time you've heard from each other?

JB: i read about Tokio Hotel in the Bravo.

WG:
a couple of years ago, a friend gave me a CD from you guys and said: look, that's a new german band. i liked it, i can still remember that.

Bill: well, we saw a movie with you guys and we noticed that you're about the same age as us of course. you pay more attention then when you notice that and check out the people more.

WG: when i first saw a picture of Tokio Hotel, i thought: wow, those are freaks.


WG, 17, and JB, 15, are the sons of the german actor Uwe Ochsenknecht. they have been playing the lead roles in the movies "Die Wilden Kerle 1-4". furthermore, JB is releasing his first album "Mission Blue", the single "I'm lovin' (l.r.h.p.)" has been in the Top 10 for weeks.

В интервью норвежскому журналу ребята упоминули Звезду, которую им фанатки с ли.ру подарили. Назвали это "the sickest thing we ever got". Не оценили. :-( Как-то все это печально...
Фанатам, наверное, стоит задуматься. :glass:
Журнальчик опять проехался насчет ориентации. Не очень красиво, по-моему, но, может, это просто издержки перевода... Хоя нет, все равно некрасиво:
His brother Bill shows on the other hand small interest when it comes to girl talk. Home in Germany the rumors sais that he is gay - this has not been confirmed by the start himself
А вообще я в шоке от того, что больше всего книг читает.... Том! :buh: Вот и верь после этого в образ труърэппера. Я, честно, все время думала, что это Мишка. И, думаю, я была в этом не одинока. Хотя, может он не понял вопроса и подумал, что между ним и Биллем? :lol: Или просто прикольнулся?

Gustav, How many times in your life have you hit someone?

Gustav: I would have to say, about 5 times. Especially Bill, when he is acting all active again or when he is bugging me.

Bill: You have never hit me!

Gustav: Not yet, but in my mind I have kicked your ass at least 5 times.
