I believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing.

I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us.

Art is difficult. It's not entertainment. There are only a few people who can say something about art - it's very restricted. When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not. Buying art is not understanding art.

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning.

When, at the end of the 1960s, I became interested in the Nazi era, it was a taboo subject in Germany. No one spoke about it anymore, no more in my house than anywhere else.

Art is difficult. Its not entertainment.
