During Christmas time, on German television they show films with three or four episodes, and I quite like the feeling of waiting for the next episode.

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

When I read a script, I am already in the movie with my music, and I can dive into a world that I haven't seen before.

I have smelt all the aromas there are in the fragrant kitchen they call Earth; and what we can enjoy in this life, I surely have enjoyed just like a lord!

I cannot perch among those who think that I am broken.

I think entrepreneurship is our natural state--a big adult word that probably boils down to something much more obvious like playfulness.
