The way I look is part of it. It sounds affected but I do see myself as a piece of living art.
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.
Klaus NomiPeople should allow me to be many things, really give me the room to put things in another dimension.
Klaus NomiThe way I look it is hard to look like a normal person. You know, in the streets when I was a kid, people always said I looked strange, and it made me feel unhappy.
