I am not very tough with raising my children, but you can argue that to be more tough will help your children.

If people do not laugh it's not comedy.

I always do something that I’ve never done before...

True values entail suffering. That’s the way we think. All in all, we tend to view melancholia as more true. We prefer music and art to contain a touch of melancholia. So melancholia in itself is a value. Unhappy and unrequited love is more romantic than happy love. For we don’t think that’s completely real, do we?…Longing is true. It may be that there’s no truth at all to long for, but the longing itself is true. Just like pain is true. We feel it inside. It’s part of our reality.

I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.

I understand Hitler... I sympathise with him a little bit.

You know, I really do have some morals. I do actually care about people. And I do have a political standpoint.
