2) I: for 6 generations, Douwes is a famous name in the art-business which is obvious here. Pia has her own art. Hailed in Germany and Austria, especially for her part in Elisabeth in which she played Sissi. It meant for her living for years without a home. That changed now. Finally mum and dad have their talented daughter nearby. And also her three older brothers can stop by.
4) I: she knew what she wanted after high school with the nuns, ballet. Pia did an education in London, there she discovered the almost unlimited possibilities of her voice and she gave and still gives concerts for about 20 years in the Netherlands and abroad and plays the biggest musical parts like here in Chicago.
5) I: We always think that when people play in such an enormous production, like soon in Sunset Boulevard, that they have a Ferrari in their driveway but it is actually a craft that is, in comparison to the attention you get, is underpaid.
6) P: Yes, no, Im not underpaid of course, absolutely not, Im very content but you dont earn enough money to be able to afford enormous things and do everything you want.
I: Its good that your family is in the art-business?
P: You could say that, otherwise I would have a boring wall.
I: the production people are very disciplined, they already prepared a DVD. And if it is okay were going to watch it and then were going back to the beginning.
8) P: Look at those curls. I used to have gold-blond hair. My mum saved a piece of my hair. I: Your good hat P: Yes, it looks good on me. I: Absolutely. P: I was already smiling back then. I: But those brothers P: Oh look, how cute. I: And then, the first boyfriend. Sorry, we dont get a comment on this? P: No, thats my brother. I: we hoped that P: You hoped that didnt you, a John Lennon? I: Yes an early romance. P: Look, how Im eating, how Im enjoying it.
10) P: yes that is really disappointing. And see, always acting crazy.
I: Nice. Where did that come from in that garage with the suit and attracting attention?
P: do you know that I really dont have a clue, since I decided I wanted to go into this line of work when I was 19. Before that I wanted to become a caretaker for mentally disabled people.
11) I: An amateur psychologist says: a girl with three older brothers, has to do a lot of work to get attention and maybe that is where it came from?
P: Maybe thats true.
I: Maybe we solved the puzzle today.
P: You have to prove yourself because they knew everything better, but as little sister you think: Hello, Im here as well. But I also went to boarding school when I was twelve so I didnt live with them for very long.
13) P: thats because my whole family went to boarding school so I wanted to go too. If you have done that, I want to be able to talk about it as well.
I: Because of her extraordinarily talent, she even ended up on Broadway. Here she sung the main part in Chicago. A unique experience since the honor of a lengthy performance in the Mecca of the musical is seldom given to a foreign person. After her first performance press and audience were ecstatic.
16) I: And now, sunset boulevard, about the life of Norma Desmond. Norma is a vendetta from the time of the mute movies but the movie with sound comes and then she gets lost.
Desperate she gets attached to a much younger script writer to save her because she cant accept that her career is over. The question is, is the end of the good parts and fame something that Pia is already thinking about?
17) P: Of course youre thinking about that. Not only because youre playing the part of Norma but also because youre getting a bit older, and youll start to think about stuff, and about what is left, what parts are left and I dont have a family myself and when you see my brothers with their families and then youll realize wow, where am I?. That is when you get confronted with that and thats not always easy because would love to have a family as well.
18) Because I think how will I end up and what bout Norma what did she experience? She stood in the spotlights and eventually she keeps living in the past. What I try is not to live in the past because there is no point in doing that but I can imagine very well where that woman comes from and I hope that I wont live in an illusion in the future.
19) I: Has it been a conscious choice or did you live not permit it, because you say, the topic that always comes up in conversation with you is the choice between a family live, putting down roots
P: It didnt happen
I: thats it?
P: Yes because I didnt make a conscious choice: I dont want kids and I dont want a guy, I would like to have a guy very much, and I might even still want kids, I dont know if it is still possible.
21) P: Absolutely, but that doesnt rule out the fact that I did have relationships so it is not impossible
P: sings I belong to me in Dutch
I: When I was on my way here I thought: This interview is actually completely unnecessary because we can just show that one song, I belong to me because that is practically your anthem.
22) I: Someone who wants to get to know you only has to read those lyrics and theyre done. Do you remember how it starts? Because most of the time singing something is a lot easier than to recite it but do you know it?
This is really pretty nice. I really like that grand piano.. ^^ But sounds like it stops in the middle of a sentence is there more?.. Sorry for writing in English but my Dutch isn't that good (can understand everything but can't write it).. ^^

I: Woman on socks dont settle?
P: No, no
P: Im at home Ivo.

I: Everyone is admiring you arent they?

P: No idea, youll have to ask them. It was because I was ugly, not smart etcetera, etcetera.
