You have to lead your life according to your ideas. Spend all your money and live life in line with what you are fighting for. I hate it when rich people try to be Communists. I think that’s obscene.

I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues.

I'm a working-class person, working with class.

I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.

I'm German in my mind, but from a Germany that doesn't exist any more.

I'm surrounded by young and beautiful people. I hate looking at ugliness.

Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently.
