I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.

I don't eat bubble gum, but I like the smell.

I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.

There will be gay couples; it will exist. It is not very nice that people who are married - who divorce in three seconds - don’t want protection for the others. The legal system should protect everyone, not just the few people who think they are above everybody else because they are married.

I make such big efforts to forget things and I can't tell the story of my life because, thank God, I'm still living it.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.
