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: I don't know.
I: We will find that out.
P: We will. Damn it Craig....
I: Now we want to see the ones who are responsible there for that we have just
one show in germany. It's you? Film them film them! So know you know were you

just to see you. so what I also wanted to know... Ah did we say bye Simone?
Z: No.
I: Sorry but you we will also send you the latest single of pink.
Z: Could you also write to Simone on it?
I: Oh ask pink!
Z: Pink could you write for Simone on it?
P:Yeah
I: Yes we are going to do that bye Simone. Have a nice day.
P: bye bye
I: Oh this gril was sweet. I think she was also nervous but cute. So you have
two album. And you can also read about it at the moment that you also like your
latest album more than your first one. What was wrong with the first one?
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.
