I see myself as universal, not as a German, American, French or whatever, because we all live on this planet. We're all living on the earth.
Klaus NomiI go on stage and people like what I look like; as soon as I'm outside I feel like I have to hide, because people laugh at me, because of the way I look. Now, I use this look, it works for me, I even exaggerate it. I used to hide my large forehead, but now I'm selling it.
Klaus NomiI'm from Planet Nomi where I wear black lipstick so you can see my lips and what I am doing with them.
Klaus NomiI am singing in an operatic voice for the public, to bring something more to Rock and Roll. Because in a Rock and Roll performance, the singer talks to the public whereas in Opera the singer only talks to a character, inside a story. The public sees this as a picture, I want to transport this picture into the room where the public is.
