I listen to all kinds of music - new music, old music, music of my colleagues, everything.

My grandfather was not a musician but he was an artist - a painter, a decorative painter.

I only want to give a metaphysic for my music.

In January 1944 I was called up by the Forced Labor Service, but I deserted on October 10, 1944.

For the past ten years I have had no financial problems.

I don't use old music.

Then, after the war it was impossible to travel, after so many years of Hitler and Stalin.
