Here's another interview (Can you guess who translated it?):

For BILD readers, Bill now answers, via e-mail, the most important questions about his operation.
April 3, 2008
BILD: Bill, how are you feeling?
Bill: Well, I’ve had nicer times in my life, but I’m okay. I’m really happy that I have that behind me. But, naturally, I’m still scared about my voice and consequential damage. For me, everything revolves around my voice. Actually, I don’t have any pain.
BILD: What was your experience during the operation?
Bill: As I was receiving my anesthesia shortly before the operation, the doctors stood around me and I was totally scared that the anesthesia wouldn’t work and that they would begin to operate on me anyway. The thought of someone cutting around in your throat while you are fully conscious isn’t so great. But shortly after the thought, the anesthesia already pulled me away.
BILD: What was it like to see your twin brother Tom (18) afterwards?
Bill: As Tom visited me in the recovery room, I still had a huge needle in my arm. Since Tom and I both have a complete fear of injections, it was difficult for both of us to stifle our laughter – unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to laugh. Other than that, I had a terrible white gown on and a pitiful green cap on my head. I looked like I just came out of a crappy hospital series.
BILD: What are your days like?
Bill: For example, I just finished watching the movie “Interview with a Vampire”. If I’m not watching DVDs, Tom must stay with me the entire time, because he always knows immediately what I want to say. If someone asks me a question, I just need to look at Tom quickly and then he answers exactly how I would have. Without Tom, I would probably have tendonitis from writing so much.
BILD: How often do you need to go to the doctor’s office?
Bill: I only need to be examined a few more times and then I’ll already start my voice rehab.
