The hippie movement politicized my generation. When it ended, we all started looking back at our own history, looking, in my case, for motives of rebellion.

I was born during the war and grew up in a time of rationing. We didn't have anything. It's influenced the way I look at the world.

I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.

I just think people should invest in the world. Don't invest in fashion, but invest in the world.

It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.

The migrants are not a temporary crisis. The crisis is mounting.

I was still interested in the youth rebellion but never-the-less I stopped being a victim. Stopped trying to attack the establishment realizing that it takes too much of your energy.
