Have you ever seen a film called the Mirror? I was hypnotised! I've seen it 20 times, It's the closest I've got to a religion – to me he is God. And if I didn't dedicate the film to Tarkovsky, then everyone would say I was stealing from him. If you are stealing, then dedicate. I have stolen so much from Tarkovsky over the years; in order not to get arrested, I had to dedicate the film to him. I should have done it a long time ago.

Wir liebten dieses Land, wir liebten diese Stadt und auf einmal woanders zu wohnen, selbst in Paris, selbst in New York, zwei der aufregendsten Städte der Welt, war nicht das gleiche, war nicht das selbe als die Heimat. Also, die Frage, was ist heute Ihre Heimat, kann ich nicht beantworten, umso mehr als ich überzeugt bin, dass die Heimat mit der Kindheit identisch ist. Es gibt keine neu erworbenen Heimaten.

— Georg Stefan Troller

You must remember,
if it's in your heart, then it's real.

Watch me go ballistic, suckers.
