This is a dutch article that was translated by willowlover from the www.tatugirls.com forum.
I translated this interview from a Dutch magazine (I use BO for that), please don‘t watch to closely to the grammar J
Lena and Julia are t.A.T.u., 17, Russian, in love and thanks to ATTSS famous. Unfortunately they don‘t like interviews. Julia only speaks Russian so Lena had to answer all the questions alone. Now at least we know she can look really dirty….
BO: What is the most important thing we need to know about you?
Tatu: That we are Tatu.
BO: we understand that, but what else?
Tatu: Well eh.. We can‘t describe ourselves, I have no idea what kind of person I am so…
BO: How did the two of you met?
Tatu: We got to know each other 8 years ago in a Russian childband. (I don‘t know if that word exists but) Two years ago we both went to the audition for Tatu. We were chosen out of 500 girls.
BO: you immediately were friends?
Tatu: more than that….hihihi
BO: Did you have to leave school for Tatu?
Tatu: no, we finished school and now we‘re on the university. Julia is on music university and I‘m studying psychology.
BO: I can‘t believe you got time for that!
Tatu: Of course, twice a year we have to com to make our exams. To study is important, everybody should have a high education.
BO: Was it hard to get known as Tatu?
Tatu: no, we got a very smart producer. He knows everything. He knew exactly what kind of music we had to make and he got us our record deal. (Also don‘t know if that word exists)
BO: So you don‘t write the songs by yourself?
Tatu: No, our producer can do it much better. But every song is about us, a story from our lives.
BO: ATTSS is about two girls who are in love. Are you that?
Tatu: have you seen the video?? Then what do you think?
BO: how long do you have a relationship?
Tatu: I don‘t know exactly, tree and a half year I think.
BO: when you found out you liked girls?
Tatu: can‘t remember.
BO: did you ever fall in love with a boy?
Tatu: …… (dirty look on her face)
BO: maybe you would like to tell us what is it that makes Julia so special?
Tatu: everything.
BO: what is the most romantic thing you ever did for each other?
Tatu: don‘t know, we do nice things for each other all the time.
BO: Do you ever fight?
Tatu: sometimes.
BO: about what?
Tatu: Julia gets mad if I take her tampons and she has none left. Hihihihi.
BO: Some people in Russia react a little weird hearing ATTSS right?
Tatu: once someone threw a knife towards us during a performance.
BO: Were you afraid?
Tatu: No, everybody is free to have his own opinion. If they don’t like our music, they don‘t have to listen to it
BO: How does it come that there are no famous people from Russia but you?
Tatu: I have no idea.
BO: what is the weirdest thing people say about Russia?
Tatu: hihihihihihi, that there are bears all over the place and that we all drink Vodka. We hate Vodka!!
BO: The Russian people we see here on the news all look poor and sad. Is it really so hard to live in Russia?
Tatu: the news only shows the poor side of Russia, Russia is the best country in the world!
BO: what is so nice about it?
Tatu: everything
BO: Where do you spend much money on?
Tatu: condoms
BO: but you don‘t need them, right?
Tatu: We can‘t put them somewhere but we just like them. You can blow them up or fill them with water, than we throw them from the balcony, boom right on someone’s head. Hahahaha.
BO: What pisses you off?
Tatu: that depends on how we feel that day.
BO: can you give us an example?
Tatu: no.
BO: what kind of music do you like?
Tatu: i don‘t know. All kinds of music-

Tatu: we don‘t talk about our dream, otherwise they won‘t come true.
BO: When was the last time you cried?
Tatu: three days ago, we had homesickness.
