I'm into all things German. Everything that I own is German. As far as cars go, anyway.

One of the key problems is that the Germans know what they do because everywhere they go there's a 'made in Germany' label on it - they can feel proud of Volkswagens and Audis and Mercedes.

We Germans should know that we're good at constructing cars, and we have a lot of good qualities. But we're not the funniest.

I'm not big on material things, but I like my cars. They are German-made and custom-made.

You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles.

Porsche and BMW drivers are arrogant.

It is inconceivable that ministers of the Israeli government choose a car whose features are unnecessary luxuries in addition to being produced in Germany.

I was lucky to start working when German cinema was having an interesting moment. Now the quality is going downhill again because they're insisting on doing comedies. We should know by now that we make good cars but we're not the funniest people.

The thing that I like about Germany is that Germans are so much like us. It's not like going to some other countries, where the differences are overwhelming and you walk around in a fog. Germans are so similar to Americans.

Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris - they are things of beauty.
