My father loved to take us on historical vacations, and you should have seen the stares we received in East Berlin.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.
I came to Berlin not to visit its museums and galleries, its operas, its theaters... but for the sake of seeing and speaking with the world's greatest living man - Alexander von Humboldt.
After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.
My first visit to West Berlin was in February 1983. The drive through East Berlin, the fact that West Berlin was surrounded by a wall that was more than 100 miles long - the absurdity and intensity of it really knocked me out.
And of course I like Berlin a lot. It's such an interesting city.
When I went back to visit my native Berlin after World War II, I noticed that the only thing I really remembered from my childhood Berlin days is the shoe store.
I remember Berlin. Berlin to me was the star of the film. I loved for six months that we filmed there.
The fall of the Berlin Wall makes for nice pictures. But it all started in the shipyards.
Berlin is my favourite city.
No matter what happens to me and my career in the future, Berlin is always going to be my hometown.
