"We have lived in Spain, France, Holland, Ireland and Germany. Therefore it´s very difficult for me to name my home country. I would say my home is, where my family is."

"Of course I’ve been naughty! Once I made something terrible with Patricia´s clothes. Patricia went to my mother and complained about me. I was so ashamed as my mother said: "That wasn´t good, don´t do this." That was twenty-thousand times more effective as if my father had yelled at me. To get told by my mother that I did something bad, that was the worst for me!"

"My father, who lived in America in the sixties, was a teacher for profession. My mother, who was half finnish and half tyrolian, has teached us, too. When my father had his concussion he employed private teachers, who travelled with us. Also we had always private teachers for music and ballett. Our school language was English, sometimes Spanish. We always were teached all together. Our last teacher in Ireland has teached us in Spanish, too, because Maite and Angelo didn´t grow up in Spain. I myself and all the others speak Spanish fluently."

"We had our own system for counting, We had this cards with "5x7" or "3x4" on it and then we had to say the right result. Kathy taught us in music. We all sat around a table and she went from one to the next. We could learn very free, but we were also educated to discipline. For each day we had a list with the things we had to do. I could read in four languages and write in two languages. Barby was especially good in French."

"Angelo and Maite are our German front!"

"I ride my bike for half an hour several times a week. Then I do one-hundred press-ups a day, but with my knees on the floor. Otherwise it´s bad for the back. And I do some sit-ups, too. Recently I started jogging together with Barby. Fitness is especially important, when we don´t have concerts."

"If I need something, i.e. shoes, I go to my father or to Kathy and fetch some money. Only if it´s something expensive, I have to ask if it´s ok."

"I have no TV, but a stereo in my room. When we make new recordings, I have to check the demos. And I have about twenty or thirty cd´s from different artists."

"I get up around 10am. Around 11am I go to my father. We talk about the business about two or three hours. Some others join us. For example Joey because of concert dates or Johnny with a new video cut. Every day is different. In the evening we eat all together. After dinner we have song-meetings nearly every evening. Everyone presents his new ideas. Then we decide... this is an A-song. this is a B-song... About 10pm everyone has time for himself. I go to bed around 1am."

"I have chickens, a goat and two sheep at the castle. One of them has got a lamb in february. I called it Bella. And I put two-hundred trouts in the lakes in the park. There are some fields here, too. I want to sow wheat in march. For the working on the fields, I´ll buy a little tractor."

"Maybe in ten or fifteen years, when I don´t have gigs with the family anymore I could have another hairstyle. Not before that! I think long hair is a sign of power!"

"Many people thaught, that Adam was the substitute for Jimmy. But that´s not true. Adam didn´t ask us, if he could join the band. It was my father´s idea. He is about one year with us now, and he developed himself very well. In the beginning, we were sceptic, if it would go well. Now we think about how we can integrate him better in the show. He sings really great. Adam is nearly like a brother for us. But you can´t say, that he is a real member of the band. In the moment he belongs to the family and the band. Nobody can say, if it will stay like this forever."
