I lived next to Russian soldiers. We had Russian army guys in our house when I grew up. We made lemonade for them; they were everywhere. I had a Russian school. I grew up with Russian traditions, I know Russian songs... it infiltrates me a lot. I even speak a little Russian.

Transsexuals are amazing. You have all the great stuff in one place.

Till Lindemann

Oh, my kids know me, and they know the Rammstein's history. It's hard to shock them. I got punished, in the sense that they're really big Coldplay fans.

Till Lindemann

It's just really efficient to work with a person who can do everything in the studio.

Till Lindemann

I'm polite.

Till Lindemann

Nobody speaks German outside of Germany.

Till Lindemann

When I listen to the first songs I wrote in Rammstein, I have to smile because it was so silly at time.

Till Lindemann

I like things to be unpredictable.

Till Lindemann

We used to be either punks or goths - we hate Nazis!

Till Lindemann

I like having parties where we bring in the girls, and we have a good DJ playing good music that makes the girls dance.

Till Lindemann

We're never gonna see bands like Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath again. It's over.

Till Lindemann

I grew up learning Russian and translating English songs when I became a teenager, we got to listen to West Germany radio stations, and learning lyrics with picture book. These are my first experiences with the English language.

Till Lindemann

Rammstein's music demands German lyrics.

Till Lindemann

You know, I grew up in the East part of Germany so we never had English in school, we had to learn Russian.

Till Lindemann

In the very beginning, we went on tours with Rammstein in really small clubs. We didn't even have a record out. We played in restaurants and pubs in the south of Germany.

Till Lindemann

The record companies don't give you a chance, like in the old days when they went, 'Here's a pile of money. Go make a good record!'

Till Lindemann

In German, there are only so many things you can write about.

Till Lindemann

I would love to make a really cool Spanish song, definitely.

Till Lindemann

We love the American crowds.

Till Lindemann

I'm not a big hip-hop fan, but I respect all kinds of music and some of them are really cool.
