What I'm working on is for people to be able to say that Kippenberger had this really good mood

A Good artist has less time than ideas.

Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.

Entertainment and art are not isolated

Assuming roles is something that simply won't work for me, since I don't have a style. None at all.

I am a travelling salesman. I deal in ideas.

My style is where you see the individual and where a personality is communicated through actions, decisions, single objects and facts, where the whole draws together to form a history

I'm not interested in provoking people, but only in trying to be consoling.

Entertainment and art are not isolated. Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.

An artist who opposes himself still has the best chances to reach some result.

You really can't bring about anything new with art

Negative thoughts have dirty feet

You have to do some thinking and know who you are, and then you have to resist compromising your truth for the comfort of others.

Worry is perhaps the most useless emotion

I've never liked my smile, you see. I should have had braces as a kid, but I was too proud and too vain. And I didn't want to be bullied at school.

I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.

Yes and no are soon said, but give much to think over.

No one who has been martyred by the Jews should remain unknown. And no one who has been martyred by the Jews will remain unavenged.

Learning to listen to ourselves is a way of learning to love ourselves.

I spent so long studying really hard to become a fine actor, but threw it all away because I got the adulation and the fame so easily

Don't worry about my life, worry about why you're worried about my life!
