 Summary of interview with Patricia Kelly for German TV ZDF (Volle Kanne)<summary is not a literal translation of the interview>

TV: It's true that you had to learn to sing and play guitar in 2 weeks?
PK: That's right, otherwise the father would not agree that I performed with the rest of the siblings. I was 5 years old. Of course, now I think it was too early. But-then I insisted that I wanted.
PK. I do not watch television. I have a TV at home, but it's always off.
TV: Do your children know that you are from "the famous Kelly".
PK. Yes, their colleagues from school the boys say that they viewed me on YT, for fcb, ect But I guess that's normal.

TV: We're talking today about yur new book "Der Klang meines Lenbens". Big success, health problems, breakthroughs.
PK: There were many ups and downs in my life, but still it was a very beautiful life-and it is! TV: Especially when you are beautiful, and when you drink so healthy stuff. Special green-smoothie. What is the recipe for it?
PK: BIO spinach, banana and water-mixes
TV: The fans are the cement of music. I had the opportunity to see your husband. He is from Russia, right?
 PK: Yes, he is Russian
TV: Where did you meet?
 PK: The castle in Gymnich, he basically didnt know who I was and what I was doing. He came at the moment when I decided to go to the convent.
TV: Are your children also can play?
 PK: Yes, they play, but more as a hobby. Patricia talks about how she did not have to go to school, and about that her father with 12 children traveled the world.
PK: I had a really great childhood. I am very grateful to my parents for what they gave me and what I've learned. It was then completely different times.

TV: How old you were when your mother died?
PK: 12 years. Mom was sick all year, but her death was for all of us a total disaster and shock. We were all very young then, when a child loses a mother so early, it really is a very traumatic experience. Despite the illness, she died full of hope and faith. Shortly before her death she told us, "Keep on singing ...", because she knew that if we will sing together-it's just going to keep us together.
TV: I'm curious, you have written a few big hits. Who was the author?
 PK: Each of us wrote some songs. But, I also wrote a few.
TV: I'm very curious way of affording to your success. When you have become popular in France, your dad packed your suitcase and you were going to the U.S.. Why?
PK: I really do not know what my father was thinking then, how he built a "brand". He wanted always to be free, and this freedom was most important to him-it's so typical for Irishman. In our house was always full of people. I'm not talking about the fans. We lived in a particular group of bodyguards. 10 security guards permanently in the castle for 24 hours a day. It was very necessary at the time, really. And during the same route, I do not know 50-60 bodyguards. Which of course was exorbitantly expensive. - You could not normally go out for coffee.
PK: No, absolutely. It was very crazy and dangerous period-completely not my world. You do not know what I am happy that now I can drink a smoothie here without bodyguards.
TV: You started from playing on the street. No matter: summer, winter, you had to play.
PK: Yes, minus 10, minus 15 we had to play. As long as people stood we also had to play. TV: Faith in your life plays a really important role. Especially when you got sick. What did you feel?
PK: It certainly was a big shock for me, the paradox is that I was the same age as my mother. I was on the normal control studies and during them it has been detected. The diagnosis was breast cancer of the fourth step in the right breast. So I had to undergo surgery to remove my right breast and now I have a silicone prosthesis. Thank God, now all is already well.

TV: When man becomes aware of that fact has thousands of thoughts.
PK: Yes, I also have thousands of thoughts. First of all I thought about death, for the first time. But I knew that I would fight and I was full of hope. My faith also helped me with this.
TV: You prayed every day ...
PK: Yes, of course. I went to Mass. I am a Catholic, and it helped me fight. But also my husband, my siblings, my good friends. The fact that I was surrounded by love when it was extremely important. Faith was a very strong element in our family home. My parents were believers, but did not go to church very often. Nowadays, when something bad happens, people are returning to the faith. When I wanted to go to the convent, I was fascinated by this life, this dedication. Sister Raphael is an example of how much you have to sacrifice for others. Sister Raphael is really a great example for others.
