part 1:

I:Here is Pink!
How are you doing? Nice to have you here Pink! That's great! You out there you have now the chance to call us : 0137 3322112 to ask Pink your questions.

Pink hallo! What I am asking myself first... Right now you're in Germany and I've heard a lot from American Stars who are all estonished and suprised that they are able to say fuck or they are allowed to smoke or drink alcohol from the age of 16. I mean here in germany we have an advertisement of butter, were you can see boobs. What do you think about that?

P: I didn't know that you can do that.
I: Yes do you want to try?
P:You can really say fuck?
I:Yeah...
P: Wow ! But how come? I mean is that really possible it's afternoon right?
I: I don' know. Perhaps my boss is going to fire me right after this. But Avril Lavigne has been to our show and said all along the show fuck fuck fuck. That's great. But know you are informed about all that so you can swear all along you following interviews. It's really fun!
P: Yeah it's different from regular.
I: Yeah and there is no peeeep...
P: That's fun .. so I can also tell you the name of my dog.
I: Oh it's name is fuck? or fucker?
P: Fucker
I: Nice so that's why I am going to buy a pet myself. And I will give my dog the badest name ever. But however. Let's talk about your music. Your new single Just like a pill. So we will start with a suprise because I just got the information from my crew about your postion in the charts in germany with your new single. I can't tell you out there but I will tell pink and hope that she will be really happy about it. So I am gonna right the number down. And I hope that you will be excited about it.
P: Why can't you tell?
I: I think I can't tell the audiene because it is not official yet. But we are excited about it ...
Shhh. that's a secret...
P: Okay
I: What I was wondering about was that just like a pill is kind of a sad song a slow song it's a ballad. But although it's no lovesong. It' s a bit about being addicted to a person like being addicted to drugs for instance and it's really hard to stop. Is it like that? Do you get answers from people who feel the same way as you do and who you could help?
PWell yeah it's about addiction and yeah it's been a really good reaction. Not everybody but there are many people who are living in bad realationships your taking drugs. And I think many people can identify themselves just because there are people who have problems with alcohol or whatever.
I: Was that the most important part of it for you or was it just about telling your feelings you've already had in your past. Or an appeal to people out there who are addicted to drugs or alcohol?
P:Whatever I've gone through So I like people to relate. I don't want to tell any feritales ... It's funny with the translation
I: That's excertive isn't it? I always have to think about if I should listen to the german or english words. But we are professionals we can do that!
In your video which is great we are going to watch it in a secund...There are two weired situations one is were you get punched in you face? Was that real or planned?
P: No that was very real and it hurt very bad. Twice one elbow and one fist.
I:But you didn't stop filming the video didn't you? you just kept on singing...
P: My brother and I.........(talking)
I: I also often punched my sister. I am so sorry. I won't do that again. And than you are standing in front of an elephant. But that wasn't a real won wasn't it?
P: No, it was a real elephant.(talking.......)
I:You like to stand up for animals don't you? Against fur and what else?
P: PETA...(talking)
I:Does that make sense if someone like you stands up for animals and writes a letter to anybody. Do they answer your letters or stop producing fur? Or do day say let me be I keep going.
P: I am not sure ...(talking...)
I: We have a call. Who is speaking?
X: Hello.
I: HI who are you?
X: I am Alexandra.
I: Hi Alexandra.
X: Yeah. I have a question for pink. If you could turn back time. how long would you turn it back and why?
P: Oh I would never....(talking)
I: Oh that's a clear questions one more question?
X: No that's it.
I: Okay. So we will send you the new single..
X: Thaks and could you write To Alexandra on it ?
I: Yes of course.
X: Thank you
I:Wonderful so have a nice day. Thaks for calling Bye
P: Bye.
I: And there is another one on the phone. Hallo? Who are you?
Y: I am Markus.
I: Hi
Y: I wanted to know what or who is your inspiration for your amazing songs?
P: Yeah There you go I wrote about my exboyfriend. ....(talking...)
I: But I think that's why lyrics are that exciting because if you want to write a song but a songwriter does that for and you say hey please write 12 songs for me than he won't write about your feelings. so this album is really personal. isn't it? and that was also important for you wasn't it?
P: Yeah.
I: Markus could we answer your question?
Y: Yes but I have a second. Do you also write about nice experiences of your childhood? (he repeats that question
P: Nice thing?...(talking...)
I: So thank you and I am going to ask the ohter questions or other people okay?
Y: Could I also have the album is that possible?
I: No.
Y: That`s not good.
I: You have to buy it yourself This is a really cool album so I think spending money on buying it is really worh it.
Y: But could I have a signature?
I: Yes that's possible. We send you the single with a signature and you 'll buy the album ok?
Y: Yes and could you also write to markus please?
I: Yes of course Bye Puhhh Marks wanted to have a lot! So know we'll have a look at you new video and the scene where you get punched in your face. But we'll come back right after this. What you don't want to see it? But in the meanwhile we could chat? So see you... Here is pink with just like a pill

Part 2:

I: So that's Pink and that's me. We have almost the same height. We stopped at talking about your new album. Like Markus wanted to know about pink if there are any nice memories of her childhood. and Pink said that there aren't many happy and nice songs on her new album is that true? Are they all bad-mood songs?
P:There is not many ...(talking...)
I: Except for Get the Party started.....
P: Yeah that one
I: But in your videos I don't know if that is willing but all of your songs are totally different. I mean get the party started was kind of girly, hip and punky. And there was Don't let me get me where you looked like a rock diva and you really looked great in that video. And the latest one just like a pill it's kind of dark. And know I am asking myself if that is willing or if you just want to do what you want.
P: Yeah.
I: Which one the second?
P: No the song is very ....(talking)
I: However your videos are very diversified as well as your album is because this album contains rock which I like more than your frist album because I don't like R'n'B that much. But within that rock genra there are totally different songs on the album. Is that also willing?
P: Ahhmm...I never really planned it ..(talking..)
I: What about your next album? I mean this change from R'n'B to Rock... What is coming next ? Techno?
P: Death Metal, Oprah.....(talking...)
I: And do you want to keep working with Linda or are you not sure yet?
P: Hopefully I'll be writing with Linda..(talking....)
I: This story how you got in touch with linda is also really great. Is it true that you kept on talking on her answerphone until she called you back?
P: I found her phone number ...(talking...)
I: Nice. Today I read that somebody described you : Sometimes Pink is a frisky girl but she is also serious about her business. Would you describe yourself the same way?
P: A little girl? (talking..)
I: But that's fun to be a little child and to be bad to your parents sometimes isn't it?
P: So now we've got an e-mail.
X: Yes. It's great that pink is back again with a new album. Finally a woman who really rocks. But what is about your dog and read if you are on the road? Do you take them with you or do they stay at home?
P: Fucker is......(talking..)
I: I like it that your dad calls your dog Fred. Does he answer to that name? Or does you mother has to whisper "fucker, fucker"?
P: No they call him Frederico talking...)
I: So lets great Fucker all together...
P: Come on here baby.. come on...
I: Now we've got another one on the phone! Who is calling?
Z: Hi This is Simone.
I: Hi Simone
Z: I wanted to know if Pink will also be touring through Germany in 2004 and what she likes most about Germany?
P: 2004? Isn't it 2003. It is 2004 already?
I: Oh did you mean next year?
P: You scared me...I thought I forgot about a whole year. Yeah for sure ..(talking)
I: But also for a longer time? This time you just have one performance in Germany. Why is that?

P: The first album was cool becaus...(talking)
I:So you also like you're first album even if you didn't work on it that much.
P: Like some of it (talking...)
I: Which part do you hate?
P: Which part do I hate? I hate..(talking..)
I: How does the show biz or the music business look like in America? Is it the way you describe it in Don't let me get me? Like you always have to look great and so on?
P: I think it's like that everywhere....(talking)
I: Particulary if they want to do it on their own. I think that's cool.
P: Just tell me to shut up.
I: No I have to say shut up to Linda. No just kidding i like linda i'm sorry. It's mainly great if you achieved thing you always wanted to. So this album must be a big success for you. Cause that's completely you.
