Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.

Art is difficult. Its not entertainment.

Art really is something very difficult. It is difficult to make, and it is sometimes difficult for the viewer to understand. It is difficult to work out what is art and what is not art.

History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.

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.

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